Friday, May 17, 2019, was a chance for students (and faculty) to kick back, relax, enjoy some snacks, and watch Ferris Bueller’s Day off in RAHN 1202 all day long on our last day of Student Wellness Week.  Everyone was free to wander in and out of the room for however long they liked.

As an added bonus, from 12-1, we had Augie the therapy dog join us! Below, you can see Augie and his high-flying antics.

Thanks to EVERYONE who came out for our first annual Student Wellness Week!

We will be doing it again, so keep your eyes on our website for updates.

Monday, May 13, 2019, the OIPE hosted a gratitude and emotional wellness day from 12-1 pm on the 1st floor of the RAHN Building as part of Student Wellness Week (May 13-17)

Dr. Erick Messias, Associate Dean of Faculty Affairs, was on hand to discuss the importance of these topics to students and faculty alike.

Part of Dr. Messias’s idea was the “Wall of Gratitude,” where anyone could drop by and write down something they were grateful, or thankful for.

Also available were the SPOT Pet Therapy Dogs, which were a huge hit with everyone!

SPOT therapy dog, Scully, was adored by everyone!

One final opportunity for the day was a Mindfulness Session being offered by Angie Moore, Licensed Certified Social Worker in RAHN G220 from 12-1.

The first day of Student Wellness Week was certainly a hit and the OIPE is looking forward to more exciting days ahead.

Stay tuned for Tuesday’s “Culinary Medicine and Health Eating”!
