CED & Chill
The Center for Engineering Diversity will be hosting an in-person wellness break event on November 16 from 1-2pm in RTH 306. During this event, we will have different activites that promote wellness, focus and relieve stress. Some of the activites we are planning to do are:
- Gratitude Journaling - increases happiness, improves mental health, boost self-esteem
- Mindful Coloring - Decreases overall anxiety and helps with focus
- DIY Fidget or Origami - It increases focus by using tactile strategies for regulation
Along with these activites, we hope to send you off into finals season with a free goodie bag filled with various wellness items!
