Winter Wellness and Mental Health: The holiday season coupled with winter weather and the pandemic can be particularly challenging for health and wellness. The University of Oregon prioritizes the health and well-being of the UO community by offering resources to students and employees.
- The Duck Nest through University Health Services (UHS) provides resources for students and employees spanning eight areas of wellness: physical, emotional, social, intellectual, spiritual, financial, environmental, and occupational. Resources include sleep and exercise reminders, counseling options, and self-care tools.
- Some on-campus programs or services may have schedule changes or reduced hours during winter break. The University Counseling Center’s after-hours support and crisis line is always available at 541-346-3227.
- Human Resources has an array of health and wellness programs and seminars for employees.
MAP COVID-19 Testing Location Change: UO's Monitoring and Assessment Program (MAP) will have a new home for testing starting December 20. MAP is moving from Mathew Knight Arena and Ford Alumni Center to McArthur Court. The change in location should not affect testing hours, which have already shifted for winter break to Monday-Friday, 10:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m.
COVID-19 testing through MAP is free to UO students, UO employees, and the Lane County community. The MAP schedule is released each Wednesday for the following week. Appointments are strongly encouraged.
