Video of the Week

All of us or at least most of us have fond memories of our grandparents. My older son Ashwin leaves for University in 2 weeks. Those who know me personally are aware that my parents are not just grandparents to my sons but are also co-parents. It's an emotional roller coaster ride at my home as we help him pack and leave. It's bitter-sweet. I came across this video recently and thought I should share it with all of you. To those who are blessed to still have their grandparents around do take some time out this weekend to check on them. To those who are grandparents, I wish you lots of happiness and joyous moments with your grandchildren. 

Wellness Academy

It's another year of virtual learning for us here at AISC. We are fully aware that social connections and virtual community activities are needed to support our well-being in this time of uncertainty.  If you are interested in supporting us in this fill out this Google Form to apply to lead a course within the Wellness Academy for the fall semester - (stipend included). 

We hope to hear from you and would love any support you can provide as we strive to support our staff and faculty's well-being in these times of uncertainty. 

We will begin the Wellness Academy in September and it will run until Christmas Break. Dates are yet to be finalized. These classes can be offered before the school day begins or after school hours.

*If you have any questions about these processes, you can email me at vpriya@aischennai.org 

"BRAVE SPACE" Hosted by Jason Kennedy

A space where:

We can share real stories of trauma, grief, and loss

We listen to others stories without judgment or trying to fix them

By listening to each other stories we share empathy, understanding, and let others know that they are not alone in this grief.

Movie / TV Series

The Chair

Need a dramedy to watch? There are some great shows and movies on Netflix to watch, and the latest coming is The Chair. Sandra Oh stars as Dr. Ji-Yoon Kim as the first woman of color as the chair of her department at a major university. The series follows the highs and lows of her time in the role.

There are demanding expectations. And of course, more is expected of her considering her gender and her ethnicity. Will she rise above it all? That’s what we get to find out.
