As the summer (and stress levels) heats up, it's important to take some time to unwind! Drop by the picnic tables outside the dining hall to kick back and relax over your lunch break with some light refreshments, lawn games, and creative crafts. Or, you can just bring your lunch and recharge with some fresh air and sunshine. You'll also be able to chat with staff from Student Health and Wellness and Student Success to learn about the supports and services available to you (health services, mental health supports, study skill building, and leadership opportunitites, to name just a few!)
