    Dr. Gina Belton, Core faculty in the Mind Body Medicine Program and Specialization Coordinator for Contemplative End of Life Care at Saybrook University. Gina Subia Belton, Ph.D., is core faculty in the Mind-Body Medicine Program and Coordinator for the Contemplative End of Life Care Specialization. She is a transdisciplinary educator who teaches in Transformative Social Change, Integrative Social Work, and Ph.D. Psychology programs. Raised in California by generations of Elders and Ancestors, long before "the border crossed them," her Chicanx and Mescalero Apache identity is alive in Mezistaje consciousness, grounding her ethnothanatological research and decolonial praxis. Dr. Belton is the inaugural Chair of the President's JEDI Council at Saybrook University. Gina Belton's teaching-learning philosophy is rooted in contemplative pedagogies and decolonial praxis, inviting students to turn toward deep learning through focused attention, reflection, and awareness practices, in learning as liberation. This teaching-learning experience is cultivated eco-psychologically to engage a student's coursework, research, and dissertation journey in such a way, that contemplation of feelings and insights, invites the connection of content with their learning and lived experience. Barbezat and Bush observed that "as students find more of themselves in their courses, they will make meaningful and lasting connections" to their scholarship and thus their lives and the lives of others. Gina is a sought-after dissertation committee member for her collaborative and compassionate support as well as her embodiment as a critical Indigenous researcher and her subject matter expertise in decolonial praxis, decolonizing approaches to research, thanatology, ethnogeriatrics, and qualitative research methodologies, which include Indigenous and critical methodologies, narrative inquiry, autoethnography, phenomenology, and community-based participatory action. This episode is brought to you by N2N's Illuminate App, The iPaaS for Higher Education.

    In 1922, David Levin was a struggling singer-songwriter whose career (and life) were going nowhere. But then he had a surprising “Wizard of Oz  Moment” that changed the course of his life forever. He discovered the three fundamental skills for personal development - cognitive control, emotional self-regulation, and impulse control. To help coaches and athletes benefit from his blueprint and tools he founded the Raise Your Inner Game Sports Academy. Every coach wants their athletes to reach their full potential. Indeed, that's the whole purpose of coaching. The problem is, a lot of times the athlete's mental game is holding them back and the coach simply doesn't have much available to help with that. So, the athlete continues to struggle, and the situation just gets more and more frustrating for everyone involved.   Whether your audience is coaches, parents, teachers, or anyone else who works with teenagers, they'll discover a simple yet powerful new approach to mental performance training that helps kids in every area of their lives.This episode is brought to you by N2N's Illuminate App, The iPaaS for Higher Education.

    In this episode of Illuminate Higher Education, N2N Services CEO Kiran Kodithala speaks with Ben Nelson, founder and chancellor at Minerva University.Ben is a visionary with a passion to reinvent higher education through methods of learning that help students better retain the information they take in. The educational learning structure should be divided into three separate areas: the acquisition of information, experiential learning, and application in real world contexts.The way that most classes are conducted, people generally don't recall what happened in their classes after they've finished a test or assignment that they studied for.Memory comes for free when you deeply process information and apply it. When you make a user association, you retain it. Your mind doesn't remember information because you were tested on it — it remembers the information that you engage with.Despite the fact that Minerva University is unique and there's currently no other system of learning like it, the components that make it unique aren't that difficult. Now, they require a lot of work and different minds, and years of tuning, so the difficulty is actually the adoption and thinking through it. Listen to today's episode to learn exactly how Ben thinks through these learning processes.Connect with Ben Nelson: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bennelson3/Learn more about Minerva University at https://www.minerva.edu/This episode is brought to you by N2N's Illuminate App, The iPaaS for Higher Education.
