Mark your calendars for Tuesday, Sept. 29, a designated wellness day.

Wellness days provide our campus community with an opportunity to step back from daily routines and reflect on health and well-being. Whether it’s 10-15 minutes of deep breathing, a lunchtime walk or a quick fitness class, a small action can make a big impact. It’s all about choosing what works for you.

Here are some activities employees may enjoy on wellness day:
