WELLNESS FAIR: TAKE CARE OF U

NOVEMBER 8 – 12, 2021

@UOFUWELLNESS     

Wellness Fair 2021: How do you take care of your wellness?  

Join the Center for Campus Wellness in a celebration of wellness that is centered around you, the student!   

Each year, the Center for Campus Wellness offers wellness opportunities beyond health education. Last year’s Wellness Fair sparked minds and created space to have dialogue around health, wellness, safety, and equity. This year we want to continue and expand that conversation through the lens of Center for Campus Wellness’ student leaders.  

During Wellness Fair week, we turn to our ACES and Engagement Ambassadors to lead events centered around their areas of focus: sexual wellness, mental wellness, identities (masculinities), AOD (alcohol and other drug) harm reduction, and violence prevention. Our hope is that each event not only provides an opportunity for learning and engaging discussion, but also to connect with one another and build community. 

We hope to see you at one of our events in November. Please see below for more information about each. 

If you would like to help us promote Wellness Fair, please view and utilize our toolkit here.
