Mission Overview
- The Mindfulness Society facilitates the study and practice of mindfulness.
- Participants will develop self-awareness, focus, concentration, perspective, mental agility, openness, intellectual curiosity, and other qualities. These are the essential characteristics to enable them to be effective and successful leaders, corporate managers, entrepreneurs, and engaged community members.
- The society will foster an innovative learning environment towards self-development, transformation, and value-based lifestyle. It aims to pursue integrity, diversity, equality, and respect for all members in the university and external communities.
1) Seminar: An introductory session about mindfulness and self-awareness that lasts for about one and half hours.
2) Panel discussion: Consists of a small group of experts who can discuss prominent topics and address questions from the participating audience.
3) Study group: This format is for participants who are motivated and have gained a sense of eagerness and willingness for continued study and practice. Currently the study group is scheduled twice a month.
4) Workshop: A detailed and comprehensive session for a longer duration (half day or full day) and presented in the context of a theme that is relevant to the participants. These include sessions for corporate training and executive education programs.
5) Field trip: A visit to an external event or conference.

Faculty Advisers
“Throughout my study, I’ve started to change my way of thinking. I’ve noticed a reduction
in stress levels, which has had a big impact on my managerial abilities at work.”
~ Angelina Stilwell
"Prior to becoming involved with mindfulness studies, at times my days were unstructured
and chaotic with minimal time management throughout the day. Since then, I have improved
my life by incorporating daily practices of focusing on my breathing and living in
the moment. I work on these every day to achieve objectivity through concentration
and mental clarity. My personal approach is to assimilate mindfulness studies as a
lifelong partner and invest daily time and effort to continually mature in my awareness."
~ Perla Sicard
“Being a part of the Mindfulness Society has been such a positive experience for me,
and I am rather new to the group. Understanding how to identify with my mind to connect
to the universe around me, including people, places, and things has been a wonder
to explore. I love gaining the perspectives of Dr. Gudi and the rest of the students
who participate in our meetings. My favorite aspect of being a member of the Mindfulness
Society is feeling the change within my mind slowly take place and knowing that the
journey has only just begun.”
~ Zach Cohen
