This Thursday, we welcome Dr. Irene Nicolet, Dean of the School of Social and Behavioral Sciences at Capella University. She will explore how traits developed in childhood—like perseverance, self-control, and emotional intelligence—shape success and community engagement throughout life. Dr. Nicolet will discuss ways families and educators can nurture these qualities to help children grow into resilient, connected adults. Her insights highlight how emotional awareness and grit support not only personal achievement but stronger relationships and communities. Join us for an inspiring look at the lifelong importance of mental and emotional well-being.
