  • Unmask Yourself: A Halloween Mask Making Workshop with CPS 
    🎭 Unmask Yourself with CPS!
     
    When: Wednesday, October 29th, 6:30-8:30 PM   
    Where: KE 124, Rose Hill Campus 
    Join Counseling and Psychological Services for a creative and reflective mask-making activity! Guided by Albert Bandura’s ideas on social learning and self-efficacy, together we’ll explore the identities we show to the world versus the authentic selves we hold inside. 
     
    Halloween is a time when we literally wear masks and costumes— showing different sides of ourselves. But we also wear social masks every day: the identities we project to others vs. what we feel inside.
     
    This workshop combines art, conversation, and self-discovery. Together we'll decorate masks, reflect, and enjoy some Halloween vibes 🎃 âœ¨
     
    WHEN: Wednesday, October 29th, 6:30-8:30 PM   
    Location TBD, Rose Hill Campus
