As part of the UI 2012 Celebration of Human Rights and Diversity during the month of January, the College of Dentistry Diversity Committee will again sponsor an international recipe exchange. The Committee is asking Dentistry faculty, students, and staff to submit recipes that are accessible to the home cook but still have the authentic taste of the cuisine. Please include a brief statement describing why the recipe is typical of that heritage or culture and what it means to you. Please send your recipe(s) electronically to Mary Lynn Eckert at mary-lynneckert@uiowa.edu. All recipes submitted will be featured in the DSB Weekly. Past submissions included: The Best Carne Asada Ever Dulce de Leche Cake Hoppin John Amish Tapioca Salmon en Croute Spritz Cookies Vietnamese Spring Rolls Pancit Bihon Palakura Kodi Diversity is strength. In an educational institution, the diversity of experience, diversity of opinion, and diversity of cultural background not only enrich our quest for knowledge, they are vital to our success.

6 Page 6 Tai Chi in the DSB! Dental Human Resources, in consultation with UI Wellness, is making available to College of Dentistry faculty/staff/students an eightweek session in Tai Chi. Tai Chi fosters health of mind, body and spirit through training in relaxation, breathing, posture, and slow integrated movement. Over time, practicing Tai Chi reduces stress and improves balance, strength, cardiovascular health, and alignment. Because Tai Chi exercises are done in a standing position, there is no need for a mat, a block, or need to get down on the floor. Lori Enloe, our instructor for this series, is a physical therapist and certified Tai Chi Fundamentals instructor who has studied Tai Chi since She has taught in Iowa City since 2005 using a program which is based in traditional Yang Style Tai Chi. This curriculum systematically teaches the basic movements of Tai Chi in a natural, efficient manner. There is an added plus: Lori says that Tai Chi also helps her keep balanced as a parent of two active boys! For those who are not familiar with Tai Chi and are thinking about enrolling or simply want to know more, Lori will offer a complimentary introductory session on Wednesday, January 25. Introductory Session Wednesday, January 25 12:10-12:50 pm W220 A-B Complimentary no fee Eight-Week Session Weekly on Wednesdays beginning February 1 12:10-12:50 pm W220 A-B $40/eight-week session Call Hilda Bowers (5-8139) to register for the introductory session and/or for the eight-week session.
