Join me! August 10th - September 16th
Hello! My name is Kirsten Pontius, and I’m an international wellbeing specialist.
I’m honored to be joining AISL’s wellbeing journey, and am thrilled to be spending time with you on campus over the course of several weeks. I’ll bring resources, best practices, and insights to support your wellbeing individually, and as a community.
I will be there to listen and create a safe and informal space for you to reflect and offer perspective on your wellbeing. The data I collect from workshops and conversations will help us celebrate the great work that is being done, and offer support for taking the wellbeing of AISL to the next level!
Please say hi, book a time slot to chat, join a workshop or two, and offer your valuable thoughts to this important conversation!

Let’s Chat!
Over the next two weeks, you'll get a chance to share how you're doing with me as part of our Wellbeing Audit. I’m collecting anonymous data to spot themes in what's working at AISL and where we have room to grow.
Book a 10-minute chat with me at the Protea, on a day/time she's on campus. I follow American Evaluation Association guidelines: no names or identifying details, just patterns to shape recommendations for the school.
If you can’t find a time, contact kirsten: kirstenpontius@gmail.com. More times will be added if/once these are full.
