“I cannot begin to express how wonderful and beneficial this class has been to me both personally and professionally. As a senior this year, it gave me the tools to be more present in my day to day routine and enjoy more of my last year at this school. As a nursing student, by incorporating these practices personally, I in turn can incorporate them professionally as nursing is such a personal profession when interacting with each patient. ”

“Many of my classes have focused on drilling me to memorize facts about nursing. It is rare to find professors that actually deeply care about their students and want a relationship with them. This is the first class I’ve taken at pitt that hasn’t made me feel that way and I think it is very valuable. I will always remember this class, there are many things I have learned that have really resonated with me and has helped me learn what type of person I want to be out in the world post-grad.”

“This class has definitely contributed to my flourishing overall and has been a phenomenal way to start my college career. Specifically, Dr.’s Martsolf and Sanchez have made the class so engaging and interesting, and without their passion behind it the class wouldn’t be able to be this great. They format of the class makes it so that I worry about grades less and focus more on enjoying the content and actually learning. My enjoyment of the material and my drive to learn it has increased beyond most other classes, precisely because I’m not worrying about high stakes tests. My flourishing as a student has increased because of this class, and for that I am very thankful.”
