WHAT MAKES YOU CURIOUS? WHAT INSPIRES YOU TO BE CREATIVE?
The Student Life team wants to know! We don’t believe that we are doing enough to foster student curiosity, creativity, and innovation and are requesting your help so that we can make changes. On Tuesday, February 17, from 7-9pm in PV101, we’ll be conducting what’s called a Design Thinking Exercise. This crazy activity might make your brain hurt a bit, but if you believe that we NEED to and CAN do better, please RSVP to broth@corban.edu and join us.
And yes, there will be both food and prizes!

FROM THE LIBRARY:
- Have you ever faced the frustration of finding a study room during finals week?
- Have you ever felt odd for peeking in windows trying to figure out if someone was using the room?
Corban Library has a solution for you. **Door Hangers**
Like hotel rooms with their “room service” and “do not disturb” signage. These door hangers will communicate with those outside the study room.
Occupied – means that someone is using the room. This allows for a quick glance to see if the room is free to use.
You Are Welcome To Study In Here – the room might be occupied but you do not mind someone using the other part of the table to study, or to sit in a corner and read for class, etc.
The library hopes that you will be gracious and allow others to study in a room with you.
The door hangers will be in the study rooms on the second floor of the library only starting February 9th.

Developing your Cultural Intelligence Workshop
What do you do when you encounter someone who is different than you? How do you feel? What goes on inside of you? As Christians we need be able to understand other cultures to communicate and work effectively within various cultural groups. We have so much in common! Living, dying, eating, sleeping, caring for our familes, looking for meaning and purpose. Yet, there is so much that is different!
