Sensing and Action

Most of us move through life unaware of the physical patterns that result in chronic pain, stiffness and/or limited movement. Becoming aware of these patterns and learning that we can change them or adopt new ones can result in freedom of movement, reduction of pain/stiffness and improved quality of life. This course is for all ages and fitness levels, especially seniors. Most of the exercises will be done lying on the floor, so the participant should wear loose, comfortable clothing for easy movement and bring a mat.

Security Enhanced as Part of Starbucks Renovation |
|
| |
As part of the Morris University Center renovation to Starbucks this summer, two new video surveillance cameras are scheduled to be installed on the Edwardsville campus.
One camera will be installed that will cover the point of sale area and another will be installed near the exterior door.
The new equipment will be used by Campus Police to protect employees and guests and reduce the risk of criminal activity. The cameras currently installed don’t provide full coverage of the retail area.
The cameras are meant to enhance the overall safety and security on campus. In accordance with Section II (F) of the University’s Video Surveillance Policy, Vice Chancellor for Administration Rich Walker has approved the installation of the additional security equipment.
