Weekly Dose of Mindfulness is an opportunity for all CSU community members to experience guided mindfulness practices with two trained facilitators.

Multifaith and Cultural
Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement or the Day of Reconciliation, is the holiest day in the Jewish calendar. It is a solemn day dedicated to repentance, self-reflection, and seeking forgiveness for past wrongdoings. Jews traditionally fast for 25 hours, abstaining from food, drink, and other physical comforts, while focusing on prayer and spiritual renewal. Observances include attending synagogue services for the duration of the day. Yom Kippur concludes with an evening service and the sounding of the shofar, symbolizing the end of the fast and a renewed commitment to ethical living.
Accommodations: This is a holiday or custom that may be observed by some members of the Hornet Family. Please note the general practices and common accommodations to ensure that your courses, activities, and events are inclusive and respectful of the multitude of religious and cultural customs observed by our campus community.

Learning & Development
Facilitated by Seya Lumeya, CSU Chico
Open to all employees
Conflict rarely begins with a major confrontation. More often, it starts with a moment of confusion, tension, or discomfort that goes unaddressed.

Participants will explore the idea of constructive discomfort and learn how engaging with these early moments with curiosity, confidence, and respectful communication can help prevent unnecessary escalation and strengthen campus relationships. By the end of the session, participants will be able to recognize the stages of the Conflict Cycle, identify opportunities to engage with conflict before tension escalates, and apply practical approaches for turning uncomfortable moments into constructive dialogue.
