Family and friends, I have put together a short motivational video displaying health and wellness expo that I started with the help of MANY at Metropolitan State University since 2011. Thus far we have had 7 of them. (Fall and spring). Why did created the Health & Wellness expo? Back in 2011 I petitioned and began a health & Wellness student organization Hope within U. I felt that my fellow students deserved better so I created a Health & Wellness Expo as one of the components to bring awareness towards better health and to have fun doing it! . Lastly, I also want to thank Dr. Sue Fust for coming to my rescue at the most recent health expo and making it a reality! Every one please enjoy this short video. You will love it!

Winter as Training Tool According to reports, when legendary Swedish miler Gundar Hagg was 18, he suffered a bout of pneumonia so bad he was told to avoid all future exercise."But Hagg did not listen to that advice," says Swedish historian Lennart Julin in an IAAF tribute.

Hello, Students! There is a new course this spring which may be of interest to you: Hum327--Convivencia. It is a blended hybrid which meets on 8 Tuesdays, with online activities in between.

The course description: Hum327: Convivencia--This course explores the time period in medieval Spain when the three Abrahamic faiths (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam) coexisted somewhat peacefully and created together a rich, vibrant culture—from 700-1492. “Convivencia” means “living together.” We will examine the poetry, architecture, art, music, governance, and religious practices during this period: how a culture flourished, and how it fell apart. We’ll also study how persecutions (including those against pagans), and the diasporas of Jews and Muslims out of Spain influenced these texts, structures, and practices.

This course meets the Goal 8 (Global Perspectives) GELS requirement.

Required Texts:
The Arts of Intimacy:Christians, Jews, and Muslims in the Making of Castilian Culture,by Dodds, Menocal, and Balbale (2008).

A Vanished World: Muslims, Christians, and Jews in Medieval Spain,by Chris Lowney (2006).

Convivencia: Jews, Muslims, and Christians in Medieval Spain,edited by Mann, Glick, and Dodds (2007).

The course meets: January 14, 28, February 11, 25, March 18, April 1, 15. On weeks that we do not meet, there are online activities for which students are responsible.

Students should understand that this is NOT a course in contemporary religion, nor in historical method. It is a humanities course, in which we look at how key ideas within and without several medieval communities were shown in their art, literature, architecture, music, and practices. We will look at what it meant for these people to live together, and what forces were involved or resulted when they decided to fight each other and live separately. We will examine and discuss many beautiful things, but also look at some of the saddest and most difficult events in these peoples' lives.

I hope that you have time and interest to join me for this new course.

Sincerely,
Prof. Carolyn Whitson
