Today, our incredible CLA staff participated in a professional development and wellness training with UTRGV Human Resources!

The training focused on the importance of work-life balance, managing stress, and developing healthy tools to help navigate the demands of work and everyday lives.

Our staff even had the opportunity to paint their stress, and then transform it into something beautiful! 🎨✨

A big thank you to UTRGV HR for providing our team with meaningful tools and opportunities to grow, recharge, and become better every day. And, of course, thank you to our amazing CLA staff for continuing to show up, support one another, and make our college such a special place! ✌️
