NEW YEAR, NEW YOU! TIFFANY MURRELL RECRUITMENT SPECIALIST EASTERN CAMPUS Like many people, I decided to embark upon a health journey as one of my New Year’s resolutions.

AMERICAN HEART MONTH AND GO RED FOR WOMEN® Factors such as poor eating habits and smoking can greatly increase your chances of heart disease.

HEATHER HETCHLER ADJUNCT INSTRUCTOR, COMMUNICATIONS WESTSHORE CAMPUS Not long ago, I found myself in my mid-30s, a single mother raising four kids under the age of 5. I was caring for my children and my home, but not myself. Then I met a single father of two young girls. We fell in love, got married and formed a family of eight. We soon realized that blended families come with challenges you don’t expect. I was motivated to start a blog to help connect blended families with one another.

That blog transitioned into a company that serves non-traditional families. (More…)

CARING FOR OTHERS, CARING FOR MYSELF CLAUDIA MOTIU

JULY

DIRECTOR, EMPLOYER OUTREACH/ CAREER SERVICES / EASTERN CAMPUS Everyone who knows me knows that I’m serious about taking care of my health. My familial predisposition to diabetes and stroke have made me keenly aware of how important it is to protect my health as much as possible.

I strive to eat healthy, visit my doctor regularly, maintain my weight, live a healthy lifestyle, enjoy the outdoors and focus on having a balanced life. I still struggle with stress management; however, I’m committed to being proactive, aware and mindful of my choices.

DON’T LET FEAR CONTROL YOUR LIFE KRIS WALZ, ED.D. INTERIM DEAN, STUDENT AFFAIRS WESTSHORE CAMPUS In college, I was diagnosed with common variable immunodeficiency {CVID}, a primary immune deficiency disease characterized by low levels of protective antibodies. Once a month, I receive infusions to partially restore my immunoglobulin levels. The antibodies I receive come from the blood of healthy donors.

These infusions allow me to function better and prevent me from becoming very ill, very fast.
