Stress-free Bing

The final push before finals! Join the Student Transition & Success Center, B-Healthy - Healthy Campus Initiative and Campus Dining Services on this collaborative program around the full picture of wellness with an academic focus. Academic anxiety within students can be very prevalent and difficult to navigate on our own. At this event, we will have various wellness stations around that are all about guiding us through our academics. The first stations you will stop by are run by STS and are Scheduling Building and To-do list crafting. After this, you will move to the next stations (showing your newly made to-do list, schedule or planner made with STS to move forward) which are the Self-care and Sleep Stations run by B-Healthy's Healthy Campus Peer Agents! The last station will be the Nutrition Station facilitated by Campus Dining Services and the Nutrition & Fitness Interns! All of which, plus more, are very important to educate ourselves on and balance in our day-to-day lives. With guidance, this can be a lot easier to incorporate daily. We will have representatives from the Student, Transition & Success Center, Campus Dining Services and B-Healthy to have discussions with while exploring the content of each station. Food and refreshments will be provided to enjoy with attendees!
