BOLD IDEAS!: Success Beyond the Classroom - Building Resiliency & Overcoming Barriers - on June 20, 2023 @ 5:30-7:00pm EDT

CALUMET AND STONG COLLEGES invite you to attend BOLD IDEAS!:

Bold Ideas serves as a platform for citizens, activists and leaders to share their personal, career and life experiences and challenges with the community, and how they negotiated their life paths around these challenges. Non-conformists are welcome.

We believe in the power of ideas, actions and experiences. We believe that humans are catalysts for a better world. We believe each experience is unique and can elevate the consciousness of others.

Bold Ideas is where the ordinary becomes extraordinary. It is where extraordinary people share extraordinary ideas that challenge our perspectives of what is possible, what is not possible and what is certain.


Session Title: "Success Beyond the Classroom - Building Resiliency & Overcoming Barriers"

Panellist Names & Bios coming soon!

Session Summary: This Bold Ideas! session will feature an empowering panel of Faculty of Health student leaders from diverse backgrounds who will share their remarkable stories of triumph in the face of the many adversities one faces during their undergraduate journeys. Our panelists will candidly share their personal academic struggles and the pivotal steps they undertook to actively engage within their communities. They will talk about their experiences of conquering fears, anxiety, and feelings of impostorism, and how they seized the opportunities that presented themselves. By embracing their vulnerabilities, they transformed their lives and embarked on remarkable journeys of growth and achievement. Be prepared to be inspired as they reveal the transformative power of pushing past limitations and embracing the chances that came their way.
