Wellness Days are built into the academic calendar as days to reflect, relax, reconnect, and reenergize as individuals and as a campus community. There are no classes, no assignment due dates, no non-critical lab work, and no meetings on these days. Wellness Days are for everyone, not just students! Find ways to take a step back and focus on your own well-being too!
Reminder, ALL events/programs/activities happening on campus on Wellness Days must get approval from the CWB. It does not matter if the event is “part of Wellness Day” or not, during the business day or not, or in your academic space or not. This allows us to coordinate all that’s happening and connect groups who are doing similar events to reduce duplication and maximize resources. It also allows us to boost awareness of all events from a single source and increase engagement with your event.
Event requests must be received at least 2 weeks in advance of the Wellness Day to be included in our printed promotional materials (events requested after that can still be included on our website and in digital materials). All requests must be received at least 1 week before the Wellness Day to get approval. Requests received less than 1 week in advance will not be approved.
