Wellness for Professionals
As professionals working with college students, we all know how crazy the spring can be. Between award banquets, end of the year reports, closing chapter facilities, Greek Week and end of the year programs, it can be hard to find time for ourselves. Work/life balance tends to fall to the wayside, but that doesn’t mean we can’t work to ensure we are taking care of ourselves. Mindfulness has been an increasingly popular topic and tactic for mental health. In a workforce that is focused on serving students, mindfulness is a great way to ensure we are taking care of ourselves while providing our students with the best support possible.
The Student Counseling Services at Illinois State University developed a great program titled “Mindfulness as a Student Affairs Practice”. Review their program to learn more about mindfulness and how you can implement mindfulness in your daily work. For more information on the general practices and theory of mindfulness please review the American Psychological Association’s article “What Are the Benefits of Mindfulness?”

| Volunteer of the Month, February – Erin Courville
Erin began volunteering with NGLA in the spring 2015 semester on the brand manager marketing team. Her excellent communication, observations and insight helped the team assess the layout of the association website. When the new position of project manager was created by the board of directors to assist with website content, Erin was an obvious candidate to fill the role. Erin will be working with Matt Tornow, our website manager, to filter through requests for the NGLA website. Please join us in thanking Erin for her valuable service.

| Volunteer of the Month, March – Tara Leigh Sands
Tara Leigh Sands is the co-chair for the Conference Programming Committee. Throughout the year she has brought new life into the committee, helping to re-envision the NGLA Institute to focus on the most pressing issues affecting our students. A few weeks ago, Tara Leigh's co-chair stepped down, and she has done an amazing job taking the lead on all educational programming initiatives and providing an easy transition for all of our partners. She is always quick to volunteer for additional conference-related tasks and has done a tremendous amount of behind-the-scenes work to make this year's conference a success.
