email : Webview : [USF] Keep a Dons Distance

The Don reminds us to wear a face covering and practice physical distancing while staying connected to our community, family, and friends to avoid loneliness.

By this point, we all know the drill: Wash your hands often and for at least 20 seconds or use hand sanitizer, and avoid touching your face. Stay home as much as possible, make sure to wear a mask when out, and stay six feet away from others.

We know these are all important rules to avoid the spread of the virus, but being socially isolated from co-workers, friends, and family is new for a lot of people. Even introverts can be social butterflies every once in a while.

During this unique time of social distancing, it is imperative that we do not completely disconnect with one another. In fact, it is critical now more than ever to “virtually” come together. To encourage socializing and bonding with others, this month GoUSF focuses on social wellness with our Go Bond Challenge.

Go Bond: Social Wellness

July 1–31

Check in every time that you socialize with colleagues and/or friends virtually or while social distancing throughout the month; maximum of one check-in daily. Ways to connect via apps, games, and online tours are included in the challenge description.

UPCOMING EVENTS

Thacher Gallery Art Hour: Still Life Part 2

Wednesday, July 8 | 11 a.m.–12 p.m. | Zoom

Missing community? Need to find ways to keep your (or your kids’) hands busy? Have a creative project you would like to finish?

Join Thacher Gallery staff and artists for a family-friendly arts session. Each meeting, we will suggest and lead a new project using household supplies. You are invited to join in or bring whatever you are working on, from knitting to coloring books. Stop by for a short time or the whole hour.

This week will be the second session in a two-part series dedicated to drawing still-lifes. This time we’ll build on what we learned last week, and add color, texture, and shading to complete our still life composition. No problem if you were unable to attend Part 1; we will catch you up!

Suggested supplies: drawing or watercolor paper, colored pencils, pens, or crayons.
