Event Details

Alumni Engagement in partnership with the Alumni Learning Consortium presents the following webinar as part of our monthly Lifelong Learning programming.

The world was in a loneliness crisis long before COVID-19. As human beings, our brains are wired for connection. The feelings of disconnectedness people face today—isolation within our families, digital addiction, emotional trauma—hold worrying consequences for our mental well-being. The metaverse, AI, and post-pandemic hybrid work all threaten the human connection we are wired to need as human beings. So how do we connect in a polarized world and across generations? 

Simone Heng, human connection specialist and best-selling author, will share the techniques that authentically bring us together regardless of age, gender, race, and geography.
