Healing from Within Series (Medallion Program: Knowledge Acquisition, Practical Competence, and Intrapersonal Development)
If you're a University of Rochester student, faculty, or staff member living with chronic pain and looking for tools to feel better, you're not alone. Chronic pain affects over 50 million adults in the U.S. and more than 2/3 of URochester student respondents in our National College Health Assessment reported seeking care for chronic pain in 2026 (n=710). It significantly impacts overall quality of life, academic performance, work productivity, and teaching effectiveness, highlighting the urgent need for accessible, evidence-based support. The Healing from Within 4-week series offers practical, research-backed mind-body approaches to managing chronic pain. The program explores Pain Reprocessing Therapy, Emotional Awareness and Expression Therapy, and mindfulness techniques, tools shown to help people rewire how the brain interprets pain and support long-term healing. Please note this is an educational program and is not a substitute for medical treatment.

Managing the Creative Process: What Non-Theatre Majors Can Learn from Working in the Theatre (Practical Competence)
This workshop would take some of the core Stage Management duties involved in running a theatrical production and extrapolates how that process mimics and can support the management of any team endeavor from running a lab to developing a new product for industry. The Theatre presents a microcosm of the world of team (and product) development. Often considered a "fun activity"--the actual work involved in managing a theatrical process takes intuition, specialized skills and knowledge, emotional intelligence, time management and outstanding interpersonal skills, not to mention detailed and continual problem-solving and crisis management. The workshop would not only aim to develop students' skills, but also to raise awareness of how the creative process and its management might benefit students from all academic areas of inquiry. Presented by Nigel Maister, International Theatre Program
