Join Campus Recreation during a four part Well-Being Talk Series where we take a look deeper into the four elements of personal well-being - Achievement, Purpose, Relationships, and Resilience. Stream live from the comfort of your home via Microsoft Teams! The speakers leading these sessions have engaged in activities, organizations, careers, and personal experiences that have contributed positively to their well-being. Learn from each of these speakers about why personal well-being is important in their life, and how you as a student can incorporate these different elements of well-being in a way that enhances your life. At the end of each session, there will be an opportunity for Q&A for students to connect with the speakers and ask questions that they may have.

Lieutenant Commander Miller completed recruit training at Marine Corps Recruit Depot, San Diego in February 1996. Sergeant Miller served as a SAR Swimmer and attended Survival Evasion Resistance and Escape (SERE) school in Brunswick, ME before being honorably discharged from the Marine Corps in 2000.  Baron was commissioned as an active duty chaplain in November 2010 after graduating the Professional Naval Chaplaincy Basic Leadership Course. In 2013 LT Miller received orders to Naval Station Guantanamo Bay, Cuba where he served as Deputy Chaplain and overseer of all Protestant ministries.

"For most of us, resiliency is a skill, not a gift which means it can be developed. By leaning into and pursuing hardship, pain, and some suffering, the tsunami of life's difficulties are reduced to a ripple. Whether your interests are personal development, suicide prevention and awareness, or coaching others, my hope is our time together will reinforce the tools you already have to build upon the resiliency you already possess."
