Week of Wellness activities

"WOW…Week of Wellness," a series of events promoting healthier living, balance and wellness lifestyles, will be held March 1 through 5 at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point.

Sponsored in conjunction with National Collegiate Health and Wellness Students nationwide, the program will give special attention to sharing messages about spring break, a time of year when students tend to choose risky behaviors.

The week’s activities will include workshops, displays, and other programs aimed at prevention through education and individual responsibility in connection with health decisions. All of the activities are open to the public.

For more information, contact, Julie Zsido, assistant director of Student Development, at (715) 346-2611 or Anne Hoffmann, wellness coordinator, at 346-4290.
