As we head into the end of the semester and prepare for upcoming final exams, Penn State World Campus Student Affairs encourages you to make your mental health and well-being a priority.
To promote that goal, we invite you to join us for a fun week of activities and challenges starting on Sunday, April 14. These events are designed to help you feel your best so you can do your best. Participants will have the chance to win World Campus items.
The themes for each day of Wellness Week are:
- April 14: Self-Care Sunday
- April 15: Mindful Monday
- April 16: Tasty Tuesday
- April 17: Wellness Wednesday
- April 18: Tranquil Thursday
- April 19: Feel Good Friday
- April 20: Sleep Well Saturday
Among the events planned for that week are Quick, Balanced Meals on a Budget Cooking Demonstration and Nutrition Tips — hosted by The Wellness Kitchenista, Jessica DeLuise, PA-C, CCMS — and a guided meditation session led by Marly Doty, director of World Campus Student Affairs.
In addition to joining these scheduled activities, you can watch for a prompt on our social media channels and participate in an interactive experience on the Goosechase app (see instructions below).
