΢Ȧ Spotlight: Jennifer Schmid-Fareed

May 15, 2019

Jennifer Schmid-FareedJennifer Schmid-Fareed works as the ΢Ȧ Mindfulness program coordinator and the administrative assistant for MDOCS.  

As organizer of the Mindfulness program, she leads guided meditation groups twice a week and teaches yoga classes on Saturdays and Sundays. The free programs are geared toward students but are also open to faculty and staff.  

“In addition, I really enjoy creating larger events around Sound Healing,” Schmid-Fareed says. “It’s a great way for students to turn inward and relax.”

As the administrative assistant for MDOCS, “I mainly do whatever I can to support the incredible faculty and staff running the program,” she says. “It’s truly an absolute pleasure.”

Schmid-Fareed joined ΢Ȧ in November 2016 after managing a yoga retreat for more than 10 years. She joined MDOCS in January.

She enjoys hiking through North Woods and loves the College’s collaborative environment. “My favorite thing about ΢Ȧ is that I learn as much from the students as I do from my colleagues,” she says.

When not on campus, Schmid-Fareed likes to practice yoga, draw and paint.
