SUSTAINABLE HAPPINESS:

Catherine O’Brien, PhD

The Sustainable Happiness Journal Book Groups have been designed to
broaden and deepen each participant’s understanding of sustainable happiness. Through a 2 month program, students exchange ideas and knowledge through personal filters and will have the opportunity to create their own groups at the college. 1000 SH Journals were purchased by the Office of Sustainability and another 1000 by the Dawson Student Union for distribution to students. The journals have links to the SDGs and challenge students to make links to their responses to specific questions and the SDGs.
