“College is challenging for all students, and learning ways to manage that stress is an invaluable life skill. Sean’s leadership in revamping the sophomore CCS Emotional Regulation curriculum and instruction empowered the students to directly apply what they were learning in their day to day lives; some even taught a mindfulness skill to their classmates at the end of the semester.” –John Cayton, Director of Campus Life and Student Supports
