Thinking at Twilight, Thursday 28 May 2020 with Dr Suzy Green

On Thursday 28 May the Society held their first virtual event with Dr Suzy Green on ‘The What, Why & How of Positive Psychology’. Dr Suzy Green is an affiliate of the Well-being Institute, University of Cambridge, and is Founder & CEO of The Positivity Institute based in Sydney. This event was the first digital offering in the group’s incredibly popular ‘Thinking at Twilight’ lecture series, which has moved online in light of the ongoing social restrictions. The group received positive feedback from its attendees, including those from slightly further afield: ‘Thank you for extending the invitation to New Zealand. I found the talk really helpful. I hope we may be able to join in again in the future.’ The group used the online webinar platform Pexip, which was expertly managed by committee member Emily Baxter. Attendees were able to use the chat box if they wanted to participate with questions and comments, or simply listen and enjoy the webinar. Over 40 group members registered for this event and all registrants have been sent a link to the recording. As is usual for Thinking at Twilight’s events, the audience was a mixture of alumni of all ages and backgrounds.
