Holistic Well-Being and Success is one of the major parts of the University of Iowa strategic plan. Joni Troester, Senior Assistant Vice President and Deputy Chief Human Resources Officer, is a member of the university Well-Being and Mental Health Campus Collaborative which is a structured, coordinated effort to substantively improve the health and well-being of all members of the University of Iowa community. Staff Council invited Ms. Troester to speak to one of the efforts of the Collaborative. She spoke on the importance of gratitude as a personal and professional practice and shared several practical ways to express gratitude through an engaging set of slides.
