Wellness Day: The Big G
10:00 am to 5:00 pm
Wellness Day is a day to reflect, relax, reconnect, and reenergize as individuals and as a campus community. There will be no classes, no assignment due dates, no non-critical lab work, and no meetings held on Friday, September 27th. There will be a number of fun, destress events held on campus throughout the day.
Friday, September 27
Join the CWB for an inflatable obstacle course, carnival games (and prizes), popcorn, cotton candy, and snow cones all out on the Quad!
In the event of bad weather, this event will be relocated to the Rec Center main courts.
Locations: QuadrangleSign up for a 15-minute Reiki session with certified Reiki master, Diana Fiorentino. You will experience healing in your whole body by the gentle placement of the practitioner’s hands above or lightly on the receiver's body. Reiki is a healing practice that helps to bring your energetic body into alignment. Humans have two body forms. One is our physical body supported by our spine, bones, organs. We also have an energetic body with a central column that runs along our spine called a Sushumna. This is where the seven main Chakras live as well as the Nadis, which are channels that bring energy out to the rest of our body. Both can become out of alignment. When your energetic body is unaligned you visit a Reiki Practitioner.

Locations: George C. Gordon LibraryThis workshop is dedicated to parents who are both full-time parents and full-time employees. We will look at some of the problems parents typically have in managing time and how expectations turn into stress. Participants will leave the workshop with knowledge about managing stress, saying ‘no’ to extra activities, and feeling confident in their parenting abilities. Registration is required before attending.
Join us for vinyasa yoga. In vinyasa yoga, movements flow between yoga poses as you link your breath to the movement of the body. Boost your mood, improve your sleep, and feel your stress roll away when you participate.
For your comfort, please bring your yoga mat or use one of the yoga mats in the CWB.
