Experiential Learning
Dr. Mamie Pack
Managing Principal of Healthy Learning
Western Governors University School of Education
"As a faculty member teaching and leading military spouses in the School of Education at WGU, I want to go in with the mindset that I am here to support the military spouse – that's the baseline. To do this, I need to look at what behaviors, what strategies, what resources, and what conversations I can use that will benefit that military spouse student and help them not only excel in their studies, but also to know that they are seen, heard, and valued."

Sleep & Relationships
Dr. Shelby Harris
Director of Sleep Health
Sleepopolis
A sleep divorce is when a couple decides to sleep in separate beds or separate rooms due to differences in sleep patterns, habits, and preferences that are disrupting the quality of their sleep. Although, I don't really like the term "sleep divorce"' as it tends to have the connotation that the relationship has issues. Sleeping in separate bedrooms can oftentimes bring couples closer together, improve their mood, and strengthen their connection as a couple as it lets go of any resentment related to poor sleep.
Dr. Harris can discuss a wide variety of sleep-related topics, including sleep and relationships (sleeping separately); women's health and sleep; prioritizing sleep in a busy world; maximizing sleep quality; exercise and sleep; and how to recognize a potential sleep disorder.
