<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\nWe just finished up our first Earth Month events, including a new one called Wellness in the Nature Preserve. This event featured many local wellness groups, such as Active Minds<\/a>, Brienne Brown Yoga<\/a>, Community Health in Practice (CHIP), University Health and Counseling Services<\/a>, Whitewater Grocery Co.<\/a>, and Working for Whitewater\u2019s Wellness (W3)<\/a> tabling with some great information and resources. We held three different sessions on introductory yoga, meditation, and a quick prairie tour to practice mindfulness in nature. You can find our whole list of Earth Month events at our website<\/a>. Events go until Friday, April 30th and include many events hosted by Whitewater Student Government during their Sustainability Week.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n With coming up on my graduation in May, I\u2019ve been focusing a lot on finding jobs in the sustainability and environmental field and this last year and a half at the office has been my saving grace when it comes to defining my \u2018personal mission\u2019 while applying for new positions. The Sustainability Office has been an internship where I\u2019m allowed the opportunity to show what I\u2019m capable of doing all while working on amazing projects like the podcast and a full Earth Month event calendar.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Reflecting back on my time here, it has urged me to explore many different work environments from testing water in a stream, growing a massive garden, tabling at campus events and planning events behind a computer screen. Writing a \u2018recap\u2019 can be difficult when there\u2019s so many amazing things to point out that we do every day in the office.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n I hope the month of March has brought you all many great things and I can\u2019t wait to see where the rest of this semester takes us! \ud83d\ude42\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By Gabby Pogantsch – Outreach Intern Hello everyone!
