Literature reading gives perspective on war

Sunlight filtered through the windows of a room where voices — some resolute, some shaky, others tearful — shared literature about war on Friday.

Upward: Teamwork needed to end gender bias in the workplace

New studies stifle vape debate

The health risks of vaping are heavily debated, but several new studies have shed some light on the subject. E-cigarettes hit U.S. markets in 2006 and have since gained intense popularity, particularly with those who are college-aged. Teen smoking is lower than it has been in 24 years, but in a study provided by the […]

Upward: Achieving goals surprisingly simple

There is a myth sabotaging our potential for success: the idea that reaching our goals is more complicated than it actually is. Whether it is weight loss, saving money or fixing a bad habit, at some point we’ve all failed at reaching a goal. Many of us wrote the goal down, set a workout schedule, decided on […]
