Life, by its natural state, is punctuated by periods of uncertainty. How we react to uncertainty is a measure of our resilience. And our resilience is especially tested when uncertainty extends from the individual and affects us all as a collective whole. Be it on a community, town, state or national level, sudden and drastic changes in our environment compounds our sense of uncertainty. It shakes our day-to-day priorities, close relationships and long-term goals by questioning our beliefs about justice, compassion, fairness and righteousness. So how do we stand the tide of challenging times and build our resilience? Join CSB Alum Nritya Sultana '08 for this session!!!
