When energy is able to flow without resistance, we feel more fully alive. When challenges, confusion, and wrong information block our energy, we tend to feel restricted or frustrated. That breath of fresh air that comes after overcoming a challenge in life is that awesome feeling of letting the energy flow again!
I strive to keep energy flowing so try removing resistances (both mental and physical) whenever possible. I call this my “easy philosophy.” I believe it should be easy to be successful, easy to feel happy, easy to be a part of your community, easy to share, etc. One way of making things easy is to find solutions (or ways of presenting the pre-determined solution) to frequently asked questions/problems.
UBC student’s common question/problem? “How do I get involved?”
The easy answer? “Go to the new Centre for Student Involvement in Brock Hall.”
Finally(!!) a one-stop shop for students that wish to explore the variety of involvement opportunities available to them in the different faculties, clubs, and units on campus. The space is close to the SUB and the bus loop, and in the same building as where students would pay tuition, pick up transcripts or get a campus tour. Better yet, some friendly students greet you on the way in and are there to help provide advice and different options to visitors if they wish to get a student’s perspective!
Dreamed of 10 years ago, designed by an incredible UBC alumna last year (who is an interior designer by day, jewelery artist by night), and then championed by a rockstar student and staff team – the space is now open and ready to keep the energy flowing.
A new (and easy) answer to a common problem! I think I just heard another silo fall. Sherry, Geoff, and Chad – you should be very proud.
Pick of the post: Charlie Winston – In Your Hands (official, freakin awesome, music video)
