Kindness Campaign
This year Beckman will be focusing on increasing kindness on campus, and in order to do so, we will ask that you try to go above the norm and think of ways to be kind to your peers. As Ferrucci stated in The Power of Kindness we become better people as a result of what we do for others. He also illustrated, through his focus on the 18 concepts, that if we are kind we are more apt to have success because they are interlinked.
