One of our favorite events from this semester was the Hobby Hunt, a collaborative event hosted by James P. Tressel Institute for Leadership and Teamwork and Sokolov Honors College at Youngstown State 🎨🩰🧶
Inspired by the Tressel Institute badge “My Personal Journey,” this event gave students the freedom to learn and grow, finding hobbies that can motivate them on their academic and personal journeys. We hope everyone can make a little extra time for hobbies during Winter Break!
