In May, St. Stephens University created its first online interdisciplinary course - Arts 2020: Crisis, Connection, and Creativity. We wanted to merge intellectual and emotional learning as we explore how to navigate this crisis. This course led by faculty includes traditional learning styles and introduces well-being practices such as meditation, walking as protest and personal connection, and others. With the knowledge and practices students have gained in this course, they... have expressed lessened anxiety and stronger connections with their classmates, feeling prepared for the new normal this fall as they return to online and in-person classes. We are finalizing details for public enrollment. To be notified when registration opens: https://forms.gle/REwVzQ7nP6t6uenk7 #NewSSUNormal #StStephenNB #Arts2020 #covid19

Brennan Masson has nominated The Humanity Project to receive a $500 donation. The Humanity Project is a Moncton-based not for profit organization "focused on helping the homeless/ in need. During this pandemic theyve been one of the only soup kitchens to stay open. Each day they help those who cant help themselves. Either with a hot meal or supplies to aid them in their situation. Theyve donated thousands to make sure those who need food or blankets get exactly what they need to keep living." #CommunityAppreciationCampaign #TheHumanityProject #SSUCommunityCampaign

Jenaldy writes that "Greater Saint John Emergency Food Program has been helpful to me in times like this, as they never had a doubt to reach their helping hands to someone like me to those times I needed their service.

Keira Wood has nominated Youth Impact Jeunesse to receive a $500 donation. Youth Impact Jeunesse is an organization that provides quality care and guidance to children and youth between 10 and 24 years of age, with social, emotional, or behavioural challenges. Keira says "I decided to participate in the community appreciation campaign because it was a great opportunity to support a local organization that goes out of their way to make us feel safe and supported. As a teenage...r myself, I know how hard life can be, however, I am fortunate to have an amazing support system at home. Unlike my situation, there are so many youth who do not have that strong support system and they are left feeling hopeless and alone. With that being said, some organizations in our city go out of their way to help those youth, or youth struggling with mental health and other things. Participating in this campaign allowed me to show my appreciation to one of those organizations for their support and help to youth in our community." #SSUCommunityCampaign @YouthImpactJeunesse

Claire Hermiston. has nominated Sexual Violence NB to receive a $500 donation to continue providing information, support, and counselling to those affected by sexual violence. Claire shares that "I wanted to participate in the community appreciation campaign to bring awareness and appreciation to an organization that offers very meaningful resources to members of our community. Sexual Violence New Brunswick advocates for and supports those impacted by sexual violence. In addi...tion to specialized counselling services and community education programs, they offer a 24-hour call support line and support individuals in crisis and assist individuals in connecting to the resources they need. This service is extremely valuable under normal circumstances and remains a critical resource during these trying times of COVID-19 when in-person resources are sometimes unavailable. I have learned so much by volunteering for the organization for the past 2 years and hope others can join me in appreciating and recognizing their hard work and its impact on New Brunswick." #SSUCommunityCampaign
