After the Bell – After the Bell: Mindfulness on the Brain with Dr. Schmitzer-Torbert
Wabash "rings-out" a new class to our alumni ranks each year. After the Bell offers opportunities to come back to the Wabash classroom and attend virtual liberal arts sessions with current and former faculty and staff members. Join us for this live virtual event being offered for Wabash alumni, spouses, partners, parents, and friends.
Today, we often hear about the benefits of mindfulness for managing stress, but how effective is it? Join us to learn more about mindfulness through the lens of psychology and neuroscience: we’ll focus on what mindfulness is and how it can be helpful in our lives.
Dr. Schmitzer-Torbert
Dr. Neil Schmitzer-Torbert joined the Wabash Psychology Department in 2006. His main research has been in behavioral neuroscience, studying the mechanisms of memory and decision-making. But he has long had an interest in meditation and mindfulness, and has begun offering classes on mindfulness and mindfulness-based stress reduction to the Wabash community.
