As students, it’s important to implement effective time management skills early into the semester to empower you to achieve academic success and personal well-being. This is due to the rapid accumulation of coursework, which makes it easy to fall behind if you solely focus on other aspects of your life. Nonetheless, achieving a balance between academics, work and social activities can be achieved by implementing effective time management skills to enable you to succeed both in your studies and in your personal life beyond the classroom.
Join staff from Student Health and Wellness Thursday October 10th from 11am to 1pm outside Main Cafeteria for our Take10 to brush up on effective time management methods and staying up-to date!
It can often be a challenge to take a minute to ourselves, so why not make self-care a habit and #Take10.

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) aren’t gross, yucky, a sign of poor judgement or character, or even all that uncommon. In fact, if you have sex, you’re probably going to end up getting one. You’re literally more likely to get one than to never get one. You might even have one right now and not know it. And that’s not the end of the world.
Join staff from Student Health & Wellness outside the Main Cafeteria on October 30th between 11am and 1pm to learn about local and online sexual health resources, find out how easy STI testing is, and even pick up some free safe sex supplies (like condoms and lube). You can also call 807-343-8361 to book an STI test at Student Health & Wellness.
