This workshop was presented on Thursday, April 27 12 to 1 p.m. ET following the 2023 Drexel Emerging Graduate Scholars (DEGS) Conference in which the theme was "Be well, to do well." Do you want to be the architect of your own happiness? In fact, almost everyone, including the Drexel community of students, faculty, and professional staff, are trying to balance their lives and has become concerned with overseeing their own well-being including physical, psychological, social, emotional, and spiritual. In this workshop, we will discuss the meaning of happiness including managing your own happiness, dialing in on personal optimism, the need for a social support system, and managing failure. Presented by Eric A.
