Leap Year! New Building!

So as I was trying to get prepared for my week last night, I realized it was already going to be March! The weeks have been flying by this last semester and the work is still endless on the projects I am working on and students/faculty/staff getting settled into our new building. I've included some photos of the new building and if you want to view more photos, visit the Iowa Spectator article about our new building.

From the warmer weather this winter to the realization that I will be moving on from Iowa City in a few months, I have started to reflect on everything I have accomplished and still have to learn. In addition, admire the things around me and thank those who have helped me become the person I am today and continue to evolve.

I challenge you to take the extra day we have this year on the 29th to reflect on yourself (i.e. what have you accomplished, what do you really enjoy, what do you not enjoy, etc.). Asking yourself these questions and spending time to reflect may help you in your journey towards fulfilling your wants and needs in life (i.e. career in public health ;)

I will post to the MPH Facebook page to see what you are doing with your time on the 29th of February and hope you all find out something new about yourself or realize how much someone has impacted your life.

Ryan
