After-Assignment Deliverable
Collaborative display in the Arthur Lakes Library that showcases motivational quotes from students, faculty, and staff
Every Oredigger is a campus-wide initiative to promote mental health and wellbeing for students, staff, and faculty. As a member of the campus-wide culture change committee, I was tasked with compiling a guide containing healthy lifestyle practices and tips for the Mines community, but then I figured that no one would want a list telling them how to live their own life. Rather than relying on Google to teach me about self-improvement, I decided to embrace all of the wisdom and experience we have on this very campus by asking students, staff, and faculty for quotes. These could be prayers, mantras, or any kind of phrases that are particularly meaningful to them, and I hoped that publicizing these messages could inspire others. Whether it’s just about getting through the day or related to overcoming long term challenges, I want to let students, staff, faculty, and anybody know that we can take motivation and hope from each other because we all face adversity in one form or another. I encourage anyone who wants to share their own quote to contact me through my email or this website.
