The Health and Counseling Center (HCC) set up a self-care station in front of Commons earlier this week. Students were invited to consider "How do you self-care?" and to take goodies that might help in these efforts. Counselors were on hand to meet students and answer questions about services at the HCC. The beginning of the semester is a great time to think about, and plan for, self-care and wellness!
