Discover the Power of Happiness at CSUB

What is Happiness?

Happiness is often misunderstood as a fleeting feeling or an emotional state. However, it's so much more than that. It's a choice we make every day to focus on the positive aspects of life and cultivate a sense of well-being. At California State University, Bakersfield (CSUB), we believe that happiness is not just a goal, but a fundamental part of our overall well-being.

Happiness is not about avoiding negative emotions or ignoring problems. It's about acknowledging them and taking steps to address them in a constructive manner. By doing so, we can create a more balanced and fulfilling life.

The Importance of Happiness in Education

As educators, we have a unique opportunity to shape young minds and inspire them to become positive contributors to society. By prioritizing happiness and well-being, we can create a more supportive and inclusive learning environment that fosters creativity, innovation, and growth.

Research has shown that happy students are more likely to engage in class, participate in extracurricular activities, and develop stronger social connections with their peers. This, in turn, leads to better academic performance and overall success.

How CSUB is Fostering Happiness on Campus
