DESCRIPTION:There is no doubt that college can be stressful and that burnou
 t is real. So\, what can we do about it? In this talk\, neuroscientist and 
 pedagogy researcher Mays Imad will dive into the science of bouncing back a
 nd reflect on how education systems might think about resilience. We'll tal
 k about how we can create spaces where everyone\, especially those who ofte
 n feel left out\, can grow and thrive. This talk is especially aimed at stu
 dents who are interested in teaching and/or education\, but all students ar
 e welcome.  Dr. Imad hopes that the talk will help participants understand 
 what resilience really means in college life\, learn how teaching that is t
 uned into different cultures can help students succeed\, and pick up strate
 gies to handle challenges and turn them into learning moments.\n\nDr. Mays
