Fail Forward | Nurturing a Resilient Mindset

Date: May 6, 2015 at 5:00pm to 7:00pm
The greatest learning happens when you push yourself to the edge of what you are capable of doing. On that edge, you will experience setbacks, struggles, and failures – all of which provide an opportunity for growth. Come learn how to take risks, face challenges in and out of the classroom, and ultimately – fail forward. In collaboration with Stanford University’s Resilience Project, Undergraduate Academic Affairs is hosting two days of sessions focused on nurturing growth mindsets and resilient behaviors on May 6 and 7. Join us May 6 for our featured event: Reflections on Rejection: Rachel Chapman, David Domke, Kate Starbird, Vicky Lawson, & Bob Stacey Well-known UW faculty reflect on their accomplishments in light of the challenges, setbacks and road blocks they have faced along the way.
