The Season of Giving helps raise funds to support students get the help they need to succeed. Read Andrew's story.

Andrew (not his real name) was experiencing high levels of stress and anxiety before and during exams.

He was at high risk of failing and in significant academic trouble. Instructors referred him to Karen Harris, our learner success strategist. Together they explored his experiences in class and during exams.  

During their session, Karen introduced him to poi balls. Poi balls are on the end of long string. You swing them in forward figure eight motions crossing the midline of your body. Andrew was able to achieve the highest routine level  in under 10 minutes. Most individuals require 45 to 60 minutes, or longer to achieve that level.

She discovered Andrew’s skill was related to his experience as a competitive Indigenous powwow dancer. Her recommendation: Use dance to help relieve anxiety and stress.

So he did.

Dance came before both study sessions and exams.  In just a few weeks, he made substantial progress including passing the semester.

Your donation to The Season of Giving helps raise funds to support student success.

From a crisis  to increasing their grades, you can help us ensure students can overcome whatever challenges stand between them and their dreams.

$25 will support the purchase of a grocery card for a student experiencing food insecurity. This need is urgent. 

Donate $25 now

$50 will support the purchase of Poi Balls used to improve focus and concentration in the world of a student that has far too many electronic distractions bombarding their consciousness on a near constant basis.  

Donate $50 now

$100 will support student success at Lakeland College. This means every student receives support to succeed – including mental health supports right on campus.
