Wellness Week helps both mind and body
By MICHELLE T. JOHNSON Staff Reporter
The sound of running feet and the smell of whole wheat pancakes awakened residence hall students on Saturday to heading to the start of Wellness Week 85.
Wellness Week is a series of weeklong activities that emphasize good mental and physical health.
This is the second year Wellness Week has been conducted. It is sponsored by the Association of Housing Communities and the office of residential programs.
The week was kicked off with Saturday's "Run For The Health Of It." Julie Gross, resident director of Gertrude Sellards Pearson and Corbin halls and member of the committee that organized the events, said about 24 people participated in the 1.5 and 3.1 mile runs.
Each of the eight residence halls had a Wellness Week bunch yesterday, that included whole wheat snacks, brank muffins and fresh fruit.
Gross said activities for the rest of Wellness Week, which ends Friday, are talks, films, workshops and other events.
"Wellness carries with it the philosophy of being the best you can be."
The six dimensions of wellness. Gross said, are vocational, physical, spiritual, social, emotional and psychological.
One of the aims of the week was to educate students on taking care of areas of their lives other than academics.
"The whole purpose behind this is to help people recognize all the dimensions of their life and help them realize that there is more than just academics," Gross said.
Some of the topics include love, sex, nutrition, alcohol, drugs, stress management, communication be- bored, sexes and sun expire and tanning.
Gross said the biggest event of the week would be a Wellness Booth that was scheduled to be set up on Wescoe Beach on Wednesday.
