Found Object: Thanksgiving Break


Location: 2nd Floor, English Counseling Services Building
Object: Whiteboard (November 2025)
Observations: 1) Since 2023, the whiteboard on the 2nd floor of ECS has continued to pose questions, ask for opinions, and prompt stories.  2) For the past two weeks, it has been collecting suggestions for the Thanksgiving Break that can “genuinely restore” us to ourselves. 3) Whether seeking restoration through exercise and the natural world (“yoga & a looong walk in nature,” “jogging”), holiday food (“gravy I.V. drip”), books (“reading a novel for fun”), creativity (“write Star Wars fan fiction”), social media (“watching cat videos”), familiar spaces (“going home to MN”), rest (“sleep, new sheets”), or another resource, we hope everyone can enjoy the week ahead. See you after the holiday! 

Karin Westman, Department Head
