WDS Annual Meeting & Luncheon RESILIENT HAPPINESS Are you expanding toward your greatest potential? Successful career fulfillment is an important achievement that shapes facets of our identities. Sometimes, however, once we ve reached that goal post, changes and life transitions leave us yearning for a deeper sense of purpose and meaning. If we ignore this calling, our routines may breed monotony or boredom; our zest for life withers. Sharing recent research from a design-thinking approach, Dr. Camacho offers insights for new and mid-career professionals on re-learning to lead all parts of your life by taking risks, building a resilient spirit, and expanding a personal capacity for happiness. About Our Speaker Dr. Michelle M. Camacho is Professor and Faculty Administrator at the University of San Diego.

Her research has been awarded continuous funding by the National Science Foundation to investigate inequities in higher education, specifically as they relate to the low numbers of women and minorities in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). As an advocate of community-based research, she also researches the pathways of military veterans as they transition to higher education. She is co-author of three books and over 20 peer-reviewed articles.
