Prefer to move outdoors? Try:
A quick walk or jog on the Drillfield or Huckleberry Trail
Bodyweight movement or stretching in a green space
Practicing deep breathing or mindful walking to calm your nerves between study sessions
Movement doesn’t have to be a full workout, even a 10-minute walk can improve your mindset.
Whether you’re a faculty member, advisor, staff member, or RA/WBC, here are a few easy ways to get involved:
-Faculty/Advisors: Mention the campaign in class and encourage breaks for movement.Feel free to share our campaign video (less than 1 minute)
-Resident Advisors: Post flyers on your floor & hallways, include in newsletters or host a movement break during study hours.
-Staff/Departments: Add digital displays to your office monitors and forward the campaign details in your listserv or newsletters.
We’ve put together a quick, easy-to-use toolkit to help share this with students across campus:
