Happy New Year to all! It\u2019s a wonderful time to set new intentions for self-improvement and to incorporate a little more gratitude into your daily life. There are so many ways to practice gratitude, and just as many evidence-based reasons for doing so, such as improved stress management, increased happiness, and strengthened relationships. This is your reminder that the PVM Wellness Committee offers the opportunity for you to lift our collective well-being through a submission to our regular Paws Up feature in the Vet Gazette.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As an example, this week we start out the new year with \u201cPaws Up\u201d for the Oncology Service<\/strong> in the Purdue University Veterinary Hospital, which is being recognized for brightening students\u2019 experiences. A student submitted this “Paws Up” nomination stating, \u201cThey [the whole Oncology Service] brighten my day every time I am around them. They are surrounded by patients and clients in need of extra special care, yet still they manage to keep their area positive. They are extremely good teachers and want to help students learn.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fostering a healthy work environment involves expressing appreciation and gratitude. Is there someone at PVM you would like to acknowledge today?\u00a0Please take a moment to submit a Paws Up nomination for that person.\u00a0Any PVM staff, faculty, student, or team may be nominated by anyone in our college. It\u2019s easy to do!\u00a0Complete the simple nomination form.<\/a>\u00a0In doing so, you help foster a healthy work environment by expressing appreciation and gratitude. Submissions are published anonymously and may be edited for style and length.\u00a0Sponsored by the PVM Wellness Committee<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Happy New Year to all!
