On October 21, jazz pianist and San Diego Symphony guest artist Joshua White will perform. Pianist Joshua White has been praised by legendary musicians like Herbie Hancock as having “immense talent." He has also distinguished himself as a formidable leader among his peers. Born and raised in Southern California, White received early training at the piano and developed rapidly through rigorous study of both Western European Classical literature and the Black American Music traditions. Shortly after placing in the top two as a finalist at the prestigious Thelonious Monk International Piano Competition, Joshua began concertizing as a soloist and musical collaborator all over the world -- and continues to maintain an active touring schedule throughout Europe, Africa, and Asia. White can most often be heard with his critically-acclaimed trio (featuring Karl McComas-Reichl, bass and Tyler Kreutel, drums), as well as The Mark Dresser Quintet, Nicole Mitchell's Black Earth Ensemble, The Daniel Rosenboom Quartet, Steph Richards & Super Sense, and LANCASTER (featuring Eric Revis, bass; Jeff Parker, guitar; and Guillermo Brown, drums).

Join Alliant International University for a presentation focusing on a holistic perspective on health and well-being based on science and practice and look at research around the “nine variables of wellness” through an occupational lens.  For over two years, the world has been in a state of uncertainty, caused by a global pandemic, war, divisiveness and climate change – just to name a few factors. We are now at a critical juncture as we figure how to live and adjust to living with the uncertainty of what lies in the future. It is all the more important that we look at mental, physical and social well-being in a holistic way – including in the workplace. In order to cultivate a true culture of well-being, we must go beyond "drink water, exercise, sleep" interventions. For example, research indicates that you can spend an hour every day at the gym but if you then sit in front of the computer for another 6-8 hours, the exercise benefits are negated. RSVP NOW Dr. Debra M. Kawahara is the Associate Dean of Academic Affairs and Distinguished Professor in the California School of Professional Psychology at Alliant. She is also a Board of Director for the American Psychological Association. Her work centers on multicultural and community psychology; Asian American mental health; women in leadership; and family systems and therapy. She maintains a private practice where she provides individual, couples, and family therapy as well as consultation to working professionals and organizations. Dr. Cheryl Fisher is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC)and licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) with over 20 years of clinical experience. She is the director of the Online MA in Clinical Counseling program with Alliant International University. Certified in EcoPsychology, a trauma specialist and suburban back-yard forager, Dr. Fisher’s research includes the examination of the reciprocal relationship between nature and humans in overall wellness.
