“The Northern Lights: Myths and Science”
The Northern Lights-Aurora Borealis is an amazing and colorful natural phenomenon. Many

impacts, and how we might even prevent or mitigate the effects of a disastrous collision in the
future.

Communications, A Core Skill
Wednesdays 11 a.m.—12:20 p.m. Room 411
Whenever people interact, the way in which they exchange information and
influence each other is through interpersonal communication. Often
communication goes well. But when it does not, our relationships at home or
in the world at large can be severely impaired. Being human and
imperfect, all of us experience communication challenges. This is the rule not
the exception.
This five-session course will focus on core individual and group communication skills that have been
proven to help make challenging interactions go better. Participants will have the opportunity to
learn and practice these skills and to explore actual communications challenges from their daily
lives. The goal of the course: that every participant will improve his or her daily interactions with
others. Dr. Gullen will lead a class on how to talk with your doctor (and the best approach to
understanding all those test results) for Encore University.
