OTC’s academic department is on a mission to spread kindness and happiness across the OTC System.

A recent study by John Gottman found that for every negative feeling or occurrence, five positive — or happy — feelings can help replace the negative.

Bishop’s Bunch is challenging you to pay it forward by sharing five happy things (today, this week, this month or this semester) and letting us know on social media by tagging OTC and using the hashtag #happy5.

“If you can do something to make one person feel better — make them feel valued and impact their life—then it’s worth doing.” Anonymous

Go forth, and spread happiness!
