Franklin Family Podcast

Professor Montross joins us to discuss her multilayered experience in the field of psychology. In this podcast she discusses positive psychology and ways in which students can benefit from exploring this framework.

Today's special guest is Franklin's very own, counselor Corbin Moro, who has dedicated over 20 years of her career to Franklin. Today, she joins us to discuss ways students can access mental health services and discuss strategies as we continue our discussion on mental wellness.

Today's episode commemorates Franklin's annual University Day. University Day represents community-led building by exhibiting current projects and bringing students together. The focus of this year's Day of Giving is wellness and the promotion of mental health on campus. Our podcast team chose to pose an important question to students and faculty: "What does wellness mean to you?" Spend a minute of your day listening to some of their responses.

As we approach Valentines day I thought It would be very fitting to highlight the beloved, "That's Amore" a family run local business in Sorengo. Roberto
