The 3rd annual Wellness Fest took place this week, with each day assuming a new wellness-based theme.
Monday was devoted to physical activity (complete with some West Africans drumming and dancing) Tuesday to nutrition, Wednesday to stress management and self care, and Thursday for mental health and well-being.
Students had a chance to check out different booths to learn about the different areas of wellness and enter a raffle to win Romp Skis and other giveaway items.
Monday: Physical activity
“My favorite part about my job is the students, who are the reason why I’m here. I love helping others,” said Jeff Sladewski, assistant director of campus recreation.
Tuesday: Nutrition
“One of my biggest concerns on campus has always been food insecurity, so I joined the Organics Guild (OG) to help others around campus with that,” says Rylee Hammar, a Western Environment and Sustainability student holding down the OG booth.
Wednesday: Mental health and stress
“We’re here to spread awareness to mental health and help students realize that it’s ok to talk to other adults,” said Nya Greenstone, a behavioral health clinical supervisor for Axis Health Systems.
