It’s finals week and we know y’all are stressed. We’re here to help! Come out to our De-Stress Fest event happening on Tuesday (the 6th) and Wednesday (the 7th) for some free snacks, beverages, and of course everyone’s favorite, Therapy Dogs! We’ll be out on Ring Road near the Student Center from 11:00am-2:00pm. Take some time and rejuvenate both physically and mentally before tackling the rest of your exams, papers, and projects. Already done with your finals? Than come celebrate with a little treat and a furry congratulations from our Therapy Dogs.
Wednesday Wellness Walks are a bi-weekly walking excursion to local points of interest near UCI. We’ll visit various parks and nature preserves that are right here in our backyard, all while incorporating mindfulness and ecological education! The walks are open to all students, faculty, and staff. Go at your own pace and feel free to leave at any time if you have mobility limitations or other obligations.
We meet at 11:30am in front of the Zot N’ Go and then embark on our journey. If there are any questions, please contact Doug Everhart at everhart@uci.edu.

The Center for Excellence in Writing & Communication and The Center for Student Wellness & Health Promotion present Journal to Wellness!
Journal to Wellness Workshops provide a space for students to relax, reflect, and realize wellness at UCI. In our casual, salon-style space, participants consider how we are—or are not—caring for our minds, bodies and communities. Snacks are provided!
Quick Bites is a brief, virtual lunch and learn series on Zoom with our RDN, Jody Margolis, who will cover various nutrition hot topics. You’ll have the opportunity to ask the expert and expand your nutritional knowledge.
The Behind Happy Faces interactive workshop helps students understand the many ways our mental health can be challenged, and how to identify effective coping strategies for yourself and others. This presentation will expose participants to the knowledge necessary to understand mental health in their own lives as well as how to navigate emotional relationships with others.
Participants will receive a FREE t-shirt!
