OF [email protected] - UND(RGRADUAl( R(S(ARCH The mission of Wellness Programs is to promote holistic wellness and positive health behaviors. Beginning the New Year, we are reminded about our adaptability for the twists and turns that come up throughout the semester. It's kind of like adapting to this unpredictable weather - high sos one day and sub-zero a few days later! Somehow, we all find a way to make it work... If you have students who may have more challenges with adapting to these twists and turns, please encourage them to sign up for our new Resilience Series, Stronger through Struggle. You can read more about it below. Thank you for sharing with students that our food pantry was open throughout winter break. A few hundred items were taken off the table over break, demonstrating that this service is needed all year long. Our food pantry is now open every Friday through Monday morning at the CoRec. We appreciate this partnership with our campus colleague, Vanessa Pacheco, who is helping to make this happen. Take a few moments to read about our Mindfulness Series, the NEW Resilience Series, and the CRAVE Series for students. Those are great programs to recommend to students that you work with. The Crock Pot Demos have huge staff participations, and our Campus Improvement Team has put together a fantastic lineup for our spring Lunch and Learn Series. All info that we think you just NEED to know this month. Follow us We also want you to know that our peer mentors are changing their names to Wellness Mentors to better reflect the work that they do on @BoilerWellness ! campus and with students. They are still available for one-on-one consultations but also present in classrooms and do a tremendous amount of outreach for us.
