Wellness Opportunities
Let's Talk Hours
When you are confronted with the Valleys of Life, it is always nice to have a private, confidential, and nonjudgmental space to express your thoughts and emotions. All Honors College students can talk with Shan. Sessions are free.
Mondays, 2:00-4:00pm | HC E125
Fridays, 10:00am-12:00pm | Academic Building West, Room 5050
Sessions are on a first come, first served basis. You may also look for other Let's Talk options.
Wellness Workshops
Please join Shan Reeves in his weekly workshops. These workshops address methods for relaxation and mindfulness, ways to manage challenges and anxiety, exploration of one's identity in academia, work life balance, and time management in a changing environment. These workshops are happening on Tuesdays during the fall 2023 semester, Sept. 19–Dec. 19.
Please see the side bar for upcoming workshops or visit the weekly virtual workshops page.
