THURSDAY, MARCH 4
How do you light the way? 7-10 p.m. in Krach Leadership Center, Room 130A. Those attending the event will walk through three different areas spotlighting mental health awareness, affirmation, and action. Attendees will wait in the lobby of Krach before entering the walk-through, which will be constructed by moving the tables. The walkthrough style event lets us control the numbers in line with social distancing protocols, as well as give everyone a time to self-reflect on what mental health means to them. Hosted by Boiler Gold Rush.
FRIDAY, MARCH 5
Gratitude Journal: 2:30-4 p.m. in the Krach Leadership Center, Room 230. Join us as your schedule allows to create your own gratitude journal and enjoy time together. Hosted by Span Plan Nontraditional Student Support Services.
