UW to Host Wellness and Destress Events for Students

As the semester ends, several free wellness and destress events are planned for University of Wyoming students.

The events take place from Monday, Dec. 2, through Monday, Dec. 9, and are designed to help students manage end-of-semester stress. The events are sponsored by UW Libraries, Campus Recreation, the Wellness Center, LeaRN, the Writing Center and the Associated Students of UW.

On the main floor of Coe Library, there will be coloring; brain break games; pixel puzzles; guess the number of items; a craft table; wellness tips handouts; bingo cards; Legos; and a finals week planner every day from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Coloring and brain break games are available anytime Coe Library is open.

The UW Wellness Center will host a Zen Den relaxation lounge in Room 107 of Half Acre Recreation and Wellness Center, featuring a wellness pod, recovery chair and massage chairs. The activities will be available by appointment only from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Check out the fitness classes scheduled every day. To schedule an appointment, click here.
