As the semester winds down are you becoming more stressed? Do you feel like you have a lot on your plate and do not know where to begin? Do you have a hard time focusing as the semester comes to an end? This week we will be discussing the importance of remaining relaxed in order to stay focused. Relaxation is key to reducing stress. Students will learn the difference between eu-stress and distress. We will also discuss ways to reduce negative stress in our lives so we are better able to stay focused and relaxed. Come and enjoy a presentation from the MindBody Connection on how to relax and what resources they offer to students.
Seminars will take place:
- Tuesday April 19 – Noon-1, SASS Room 213
- Wednesday April 20 – 3-4, SASS Room 213
- Thursday April 21 – 5:30-6:30, Student Union, Multicultural Student Affairs Suite

The play tells the story, set in 1930s Los Angeles, of a marathon dance competition with the desperate and unemployed who dance for weeks and sometimes until death to win fame and money.
“This true American classic depicts the frailty and strength of the human spirit during times of great hardship,” remarks director Barry Kyle. “… The characters dance themselves to near death, so desperate are they to win money or fame. No one knows who is going to win and no one can anticipate how much the competition will change them forever.“
This show runs April 23- May 1 in Spencer Theatre of the Performing Arts Center on UMKC’s Campus. For more information, visit their website or the Central Ticket Office in the lobby of the Performing Arts Center. You can also call at (816) 235-6222 for more ticketing information.
