WHAT WE DO
We hold events focused on enhancing the physical and emotional wellness of our students. These events include free workout classes for students, goodies during stressful parts of the semester, and other tabling events and speakers during the semester. We love partnering with local businesses who want to help make our students days a little brighter! This semester, we want to host fun and relaxing events and do as much as we can to prioritize the health of our student body.
