“Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back!” – John Sebastian (Welcome Back, Kotter theme song)
Our Wellness would like to welcome those that are back on campus. This semester we are offering a couple of things that will be in-person and a few that are remote. The wellness program is trying to appeal to those that are on campus, as well as those that aren’t.
Our newest in-person offering is our chair massages – yes, that is correct, they are back! I know that this was a faculty/staff favorite pre-pandemic. As people start to trickle back on campus we wanted to offer these again.
Please see the schedule below for all our offerings this semester:
Mondays – Mindfulness/Mental Health Workshops
