Just a Second: Using technology to remember and reflect on the mundane and extraordinary

Some days you travel around the world or go to the concert of a lifetime, and other days you go to class, study, eat, and sleep. However, each of these moments - and others like it - represent the complex, meaningful, and everyday activities that make up a life well-lived. Using the mobile application 1SE, students and community members are invited to join a presentation and conversation about reflecting on our everyday lives, shared humanity, and the moments that sustain us. Participants in attendance will receive a free 1-year subscription to 1SE, and five participant will receive a 1SE swagbag.
