Approach to Wellness
Bill (he/him) feels renewed and refreshed when he is able to do long-distance biking as well as just spending time outside. Being with family and close friends is a great source of pleasure to Bill. He also likes to putter around in his workshop, building things and pretending that he is a carpenter.
Why I Love ÌÇÐÄÔ´´
Bill greatly values having the opportunity to work with and get to know a wide variety of the amazing students who attend ÌÇÐÄÔ´´, and he appreciates their courage in sharing parts of their lives with him in the work that they do together. He is also grateful for the wonderful co-workers he has been blessed with, both in CAPS and across campus.
