“Attending Thrive@UW–Madison: Thriving in Times of Change helped me see change as an opportunity for growth, and not just a source of anxiety.

“I took this course about a month into a new job and it exceeded my expectations. It was very helpful to be in a room full of people I could relate to and connect with on some level. The material covered allowed us to learn that change is a multifaceted event and each facet comes with an array of strategies for both easing anxiety and growth. This course showed me that change isn’t the end of something, but rather the beginning of something else. ”
