"Be Unapologetically Impatient" with Christina Cipriano

Content

Join the Institute for Social Science Research, College of Education Office of Research and Engagement, and the Student Development Department for an engaging and thought-provoking conversation with our incoming inaugural Joseph W. and Alma W. Keilty Endowed Chair of Education Chris Cipriano on her bestselling book, Be Unapologetically Impatient. Breakfast and coffee will be provided.

In Be Unapologetically Impatient, award-winning psychologist Dr. Christina Cipriano teaches everyone—parents and educators, providers and patients, and businesspeople and clients, how to use learning science to address ‘the way we do things,’ right now.

From kitchen tables to classrooms, local playgrounds to national theme parks, doctors’ offices to universities, boardrooms to the White House, Dr. Cipriano demonstrates how being unapologetically impatient—the activation of intrinsic motivation, emotional intelligence, and gratitude—is the mindset required to change ‘the way we do things.’ Drawing on deeply relatable experiences navigating hurdles embedded in everyday living, and anchored in her oldest son’s rare disease journey, Dr. Cipriano seamlessly weaves together decades of scientific evidence and infectious storytelling to illuminate and interrupt conventions across education, medicine, and industry. Dr. Cipriano privileges the personal and professional, and masterfully teaches readers to seek joy and promote justice in their everyday interactions, providing scripts, tools, and framing that are immediately usable, for everyone.
