December Wellbeing Events for Students
Because as President Schuiling says, “We want our campus community to remain as healthy as possible heading into final exams, end-of-semester and holiday activities, commencement and the semester break,” several Wellbeing events designed to help students manage stress are being offered on campus this December.
