Ginny Chandler, professor of nursing, will share her work on resilience as the featured speaker at several upcoming conferences.
Chandler's presentations will focus on the Changing Minds, Changing Lives (CMCL) resilience program, which she has offered on campus since 2017, funded by an NCAA grant and Public Service Community Endowment Grant with Springfield Central High School. CMCL is a strengths-based course that includes mindfulness training, yoga postures, research presentations and a reflective writing practice. CMCL has been found to be an effective psychosocial wellness promotion intervention for student-athletes in the transition to college and beyond, and has been adopted by the NCAA for dissemination to its member schools.
