Course takes positive approach to psychology

Johnny Vizcaino | June 27

When Dr. Bruce Smith began teaching his Positive Psychology course in 2005 on a bi-annual basis, only about 30 people were enrolled. It wasn’t until 2011 that he began teaching the course every semester, and class sizes quickly grew closer to 200 students. The class was a hit, Smith said, and the numbers showed it. “People who had the class wanted to have another class,” he said, the high demand from students eventually resulting in the development of a Positive Psychology-themed lab and the installation of a curriculum.

Letter: Americans are capable of changing gun violence

Daily Lobo Readers | June 20

The gun violence of June, 2016 is unforgivable. These events are the latest in a string of near unfathomable grotesqueness. Children in Sandy Hook, theater patrons in Aurora, church goers in Charlotte and so, so many more. They share a common denominator of the worst humanity can offer. These events are unthinkably cruel and inescapably brutal.  But we must fathom them; we must accept reality. This is not an admission of fear or defeat. Let our reactions as a city, as a state and as a nation be worthy of a people who claim to be free.
