Note from Vince Fitzgerald for our pod: "Before class on Thursday the 1st, please take the Values in Action (VIA) Free Survey—http://www.viacharacter.org/www/Character-Strengths-Survey. IMPORTANT: Be completely honest with yourself! Don’t take the test based upon how you wish you are but upon how you truly are. Have the courage to be honest with yourself! Print it and bring it to the next class." (see link on email for quick access.JM)
