As a member of this selective program, students have the opportunity to enhance leadership skills, intentionally elevate their individual self-concept, develop an enhanced awareness regarding one’s individual life purpose, and foster a heightened sense of clarity and compassion towards both themselves and others.

This program is a 4-week leadership development series that shares how mindful leadership and mindfulness principles/tools can assist with stress reduction and the enhancement of individual leadership practices. Students that participate in this program will enhance cognitive skills that support their academic performance, strengthen overall well-being, cultivate positive psychological states, and reduce anxiety.

The Mindful Warrior Program encourages awareness of thought behaviors, remaining present when enduring internal or external stressors, and how body language can have an effect on the individual as well as to whom it’s being displayed too. Learning to remain in the moment, not to dwell on the past, and to dismantle anxiety about the future. Engaging with others genuinely with reciprocity, building a conversation instead of just waiting for the cue to respond…. How applying thoughtfulness methods allows for improved communication and understanding among individuals working together, regardless of the adversity…The Mindful Warrior Program has improved my experience of life and I am grateful to have been a part of a program with a wholesome mission.
