Quarterly Health Campaign – Wellness on the Go…….

August is National Wellness Month. It gives us an opportunity to reset and refocus on self -care, stress management, and healthy habits. Wellness is not a one-time event, it’s an ongoing practice of small, daily activities that allow us to manage stress, feel happier and healthier.

Launching the week of August 11, and open to the entire Cornell community (no Wellness membership is needed), we invite you to engage with Wellness on the Go. Take part in one or more of these offerings by August 24 to include Wellness as part of your day even during busy times, especially with the beginning of the school year. Participate and be entered to win a prize ($50 value). Register here
