National recognition, program updates, and wellness opportunities!
OCTOBER 2020

RecWell was featured in Campus Rec Magazine!

Featuring our delivery of both virtual and in-person programs, the article highlights how we're continuously learning and needing to be more flexible than ever. Most importantly, we recognize the importance of serving our students and keeping them involved and engaged. 
“The benefits of our programs were two-fold: not only were students able to participate safely, but in doing so we were also positively reinforcing the compliance of health policies and behaviors — e.g. wearing a face covering, distancing and completing a daily self-assessment.”

Outdoor Adventures

Student Wellness

  • October 2, 2020: a Day of Wellness. Participants were encouraged to take time out of their day to support their well-being. And since we know the value of doing this daily, you can always get involved. Learn about the 8 dimensions, share a “wellfie” and self-care story, schedule a flu shot, or take our wellness quiz, or browse the Student Wellness Guide.
