Finals De-Stress Week Events
Being a student is stressful. Working in healthcare is stressful. Test-taking is stressful. All three of those things together could be a recipe for disaster and the staff with SMHS Library Resources and SMHS Student Well Being want to help prevent that disaster!
Mark your calendars for May 4, 5, and 6 as we try to help you de-stress across various campuses. Join us at these locations for the following events where you can take some time to pause and take a breath:
Virtual
Join Michelle Montgomery, Assistant Director of Student Well Being, who will lead a virtual mediation session over Zoom on Monday, May 4 at noon. This is a great way to start the week and get ready for what’s to come. Register ahead for this event if you’d like to receive reminder emails.
