To welcome in November, the Psychology Department has planted a Thankful Tree next to the printer in McKinzie Hall. Throughout this month, take some time to head to the building and write on a leaf what you are grateful for.

It is said that gratitude can actually reduce stress and anxiety, boost your mood, and build resilience. As the semester is coming to a close, we encourage everyone to practice gratitude by writing a note as well as incorporating it into their daily life.

Professor Riley has an IMPORTANT announcement! 📣🐶
Hello all!

Our dog, Mister, has been submitted for the Good Dog contest at Garden and Gun magazine. We have less than 48 hours to vote for him. I wonder, would you do so via the link below? And further, would you consider reposting the attached flyer?

Mister is 15 years old and has hosted thousands of students/people at our home for church services on the lawn(thanks, COVID), Greek life and student org parties, the Psych Dept s’mores party, etc. He is a senior saint who might just be the BEST GOOD DOG. Sorry for yelling. I just love him so much.

Thank you for considering! You can vote once an hour from multiple devices!
