Valentine's Day Poem Contest WINNERS: |
|

To my parents:
It was us, just little sprouts,
We came to your door with lots of doubts.
The world had been unkind and cruel,
we didn't believe we could be like jewels.
Then came your love, your hugs, and more still.
You should us a family that was real.
You showed us your love, taught us to heal.
To us that a huge deal.
Again and again, we pull through.
After all, there are no better parents than you.
Happy Valentine's Day!
We love you, Mom and Dad!

2021 Love
Valentine’s Day a day to celebrate love
in a world of poverty and hate where many feel it’s impossible to rise above.
Can we as a world as people find time
on at least one day to put aside angst and anger
Oh wait, I hear a chime
Is it church bells? Is it freedom?
Let it ring in this month of black history,
Lord why did you take MLK, we need him!
What we need is to remember his message beaming down from above
“Only light can drive out darkness”
We do this with love,
I’m no Maya Angelou this much is true
but my message is clear, whether you love or hate
say’s a lot about you
People are dying everyday from disease, violence and famine
listen to my words please!
We only get one life, are you following my song?
When we choose to love
we all belong.

Office of the Dean of Compliance |

When dealing with conflict in your relationships, here are a few important things to remember:
💙Intent vs Impact: Often when someone says or does something to cause conflict, it wasn’t their intent to say something hurtful. Regardless, if “what you meant” is different from “what you said” it’s still important to apologize. A good analogy to remember: if you accidentally trip someone and it wasn’t your intention to do so, you still apologize for your actions.
💙The goal of healthy conflict is not "winning": While compromise may not always leave both people feeling that they got exactly what they wanted, agreement can be reached through compassionate negotiation of each other's wants and needs. And both parties should leave the exchange knowing that their feelings, opinions, and boundaries were heard and respected.
💙It may take time: If you cannot seem to arrive at a compromise the first time you try to talk it through, don't worry. Take some time apart for everyone to process what has been said, sort through your feelings, and recharge before trying again. As tough as it can be, remember to take responsibility for your behaviors when working to resolve a conflict.
TIP OF THE WEEK
What can I do when I'm talking through my next conflict in a relationship?
Try apologizing without saying, "but..." Instead of going on the defensive, next time try saying: "I recognize that my behavior hurt your feelings, and I am sorry. That was not my intent, and it doesn't excuse how I made you feel."

We are a nation of change makers, a nation of those who stand for equality and freedom. And each February during Black History Month, we honor the black Americans who came before us and still serve now, standing for their dreams and rights, and making a difference for us all.
Originally founded as "Negro History Week" in 1926 by black American historian and author Carter G. Woodson, it recognized the contributions of African Americans to the country and fostered a better understanding of the black American experience.
In 1976, President Gerald Ford issued the first African-American History Month proclamation, calling upon the American people to celebrate the event each February.
Since 1986 "National Black (Afro-American) History Month" has lived as a time set aside by law to recognize the contributions of African-Americans to our nation.

National Caregivers Day
Fun Facts
|
|
National Caregivers Day on the third Friday in February honors the health care professionals across the country providing long-term and hospice care.
Around the nation dedicated health care professionals serve those who require long-term or hospice care. They provide vital services, reassuring patients and families who care about them.
Caregivers deliver a variety of duties from personal care to medical services with compassion and professionalism. Their days may be long and demanding, but they provide support to those who need it most.
The celebration recognizes caregivers providing quality, compassionate care every day.
HOW TO OBSERVE #NationalCaregiversDay
Take time to thank a caregiver for their dedication and care of our loved ones. There are several ways to show your appreciation:
- Give them a card of thanks.
- Let them know with a kind word of encouragement.
- Tell their supervisor how much you appreciate the services.
- Employers can provide a special appreciation luncheon.
Use #NationalCaregiversDay to post on social media.
