Student Perspective

Arty Party: Painting a Path to Eating Disorder Recovery

Students’ inner creativity was unleashed at last week’s “Arty Party: Painting a Path to Eating Disorder Recovery." Part of the Department of Recreation & Wellness’s Mental Health Month activities, the event allowed to students to receive information about eating disorders in a low-key, low-stress environment.


Light the Night Vigil

UNCG students showed their support for classmates dealing with mental health issues on Tuesday by constructing luminaries for the “Light the Night” vigil, held on the lawn in front of the Elliott University Center. The luminaries, on which students wrote messages such as “You are loved for who you are,” were lit at sundown.


Mental Health Awareness Month

The Department of Recreation & Wellness kicked off Mental Health Month 2017 at UNCG with Yoga on the Lawn and Spartan Scents Aromatherapy, two events designed to get students thinking about how they handle the stresses of being in school.
