We all face challenges and set backs in life. Sometimes reframing the way we think about failure and its place in the learning process can lead to amazing things!

The Boise State Career and Graduate School Fair is coming on October 19, and it will be the LARGEST career fair EVER in Boise State history! It is going to be so big that we can't fit all the employers in one ballroom, so this semester it'll be in both the Jordan and Simplot ballrooms. We're also bringing back free professional headshots for the first time since the pandemic.

You'll hear a lot more about this event over the next 3 weeks, but for now there are a couple more things we want you to know.

1. You should go to the career fair every year, not just when you're getting ready to graduate. That's right, we said every year. Whatever you need right now, whether that's a career, internships, connections, or information, the career fair should be a part of your career preparation plan each year.

2. Preparation matters. Watch for information about what to do before the career fair to ensure your success.

The COVID-19 pandemic has created a global crisis for mental health, fueling short- and long-term stresses and undermining the mental health of millions.

On this World Mental Health Day, make mental health and well-being a priority for you. If you want to carve out some time in the semester to work on your well-being, check out our IPS 460: Dimensions of Wellness course we offer each semester!

Happy National Dog Day! Show us your Bronco pups!

Are you ready to start? Fall 2022 class begin Monday, August 22! Best of luck to everyone this semester.

We love the energy that comes with the start of a new academic year and look forward to “seeing” you all online soon!

Today on National Relaxation Day, we give you permission to just say 'no' to the things that are stressful in your life.

Never heard of the holiday? Here's a little history about the day...

"National Relaxation Day is celebrated annually on August 15. We thought an adult would have pitched the idea for this holiday, but it was actually Michigan-based Sean Moeller who thought of this day in 1985 when he was nine years old!...

National Relaxation Day advocates chilling out and promotes stress relief through meditation and other relaxation techniques. Managing stress requires relaxation, which leads to a clearer and calmer mind. Relaxation also breeds positivity and better concentration. The hustle and bustle of the daily grind leaves most of us on the verge of burnout, and there just never seems to be enough time to just kick back and relax. Those with a busy schedule look forward to Relaxation Day, even if it’s just to get some headspace.

The rule of the day is to avoid doing anything stressful. This is important. Playing video games can be a relaxing activity, but if the video game you are playing is one where you get frustrated, it’s probably not a good idea. A better idea is to spend the day lying in a hammock."
