News for Faculty and Staff from Human Resources
|
|
We are happy, proud and pleased to let you all know that we have launched our new HR software, Canopy Workforce Solutions, for the Federal Work-study Students and Supervisors group. The whole application process has been done through Canopy and it's been a rewarding and time consuming experience. They will also start using Canopy's timesheet system starting September 1st.
We are also already using the system for staff applications and on-boarding.
We are still making some adjustments, fixing some glitches, which are to be expected in any software implementation process, and using this partial launch as a pilot project for the full system launch for all staff and faculty.
More updates to come soon! :)

“Although kids rarely beg their parents to find them a meditation teacher, research indicates that when they establish a practice, meditation benefits them just as it does adults,” say Bill Stixrud and Ned Johnson in their new book, The Self-Driven Child. They should know. Stixrud is a clinical neuropsychologist who helps kids gripped by anxiety or struggling to learn, and Johnson is a motivational coach who runs an elite tutoring service. In this excerpt they explain why they recommend the Transcendental Meditation (TM
®
) technique for people of all ages.

The Daily Ritual That Makes Me a Calmer, More Present Dad
It makes me a better father, husband, and all-around person
|
I always knew I wanted to be a dad. But I often overlooked just how challenging it was going to be. I specifically remember my wife being pregnant. I was excited. And then, a couple of nights before the baby was due, I thought
Oh my god, I’m going to be a father.
I started to go through a whirlwind of emotions. I was always a person that enjoyed my own time. After becoming a dad, I really started to lean on meditation. It helps me get a moment for myself and be the best version of myself that I can be. It helps me be a
better dad
, person, friend, colleague — everything
I practice
transcendental meditation
. I do it in the morning and try to do it in the evening. I rarely miss a morning session. It’s the first thing I do in the after I wake up, before I shower. I would say I do the second session probably 90 percent of the time, but I am guilty of sometimes missing it, because the days get crazy and busy. The rare times that I do, or that my schedule doesn’t allow it, I feel it.
