You can also just drop by to relax with a warm cup of tea.

(OR) World Kindness Day

Today is World Kindness Day, so it is a great opportunity to "Take 10" and send some kindness to someone you appreciate. Join Student Health and Wellness in Orsi Family Learning Commons between 10am - 12pm to:

  • Make a kindness bracelet
  • Write a card expressing gratitude 
  • Learn a self-kindness practice


It can often be a challenge to take a minute to ourselves, so why not make self-care a habit and Take10.
