Thrive Week
Thrive Week
Welcome to Thrive Week!
Thrive Week is a series of events focused on building positive emotional well-being for Rowan University students, faculty, and staff. Thrive is also a mindset that encourages you to flourish. We all have mental health, and we can each strengthen our emotional well-being by learning about it, thinking about it, talking about it, and discovering new skills and resources to help us Thrive all year long.
This year, in recognition of the ongoing mental health impacts of COVID-19, we will seek to host Thrive events online and face-to-face (with safety precautions) throughout the week.
Featured Events
Student Mental Health Conference
Wednesday, Nov. 11 // 10:00am - 2:00pm
Each of us may think we're the only one feeling a little stressed this semester. You're not. Our world changed drastically and quickly, and however you're feeling is valid.
Our annual Student Mental Health Conference looks different this year. Join the Rowan Community as we open the mic for the Student Mental Health Conference: Pandemic Stories. We will be accepting submissions for a 15 minute TED-talk style about your experiences in the COVID-19 world.
This will be a hybrid event as per local requirements. Up to 25 individuals can participate in person- others are more than welcome to join us virtually.
The first 25 attendees will receive an HCI t-shirt!
Self-Care Symposium
Friday, Nov. 13 // 11:30am - 4:00pm
Join us for our first ever Virtual Self Care Symposium! During this uncertain time it is important to prioritize caring for ourselves in all aspects. This interactive symposium will cover all aspects of self care to help you prioritize you! This event is a collaboration between Nutrition Care Club, Exercise is Medicine, National Wellness Institute, Healthy Campus Initiatives, and Gourmet Dining.
Speakers and activities will encompass self care regarding physical health, mental health, social health, and nutritional health. Activities include a mindful meditation, a live exercise, and cooking demonstration. For Nutrition Care Club's cooking demo we will be utilizing ingredients from Fresh for All that comes to campus every Friday 10am-11am in Lot D and provides free fresh produce to anyone who attends. Our recipe will be posted on our Instagram on Monday 11/09 so you can cook along with us!
Please reach out with any questions to our email rowannutritioncareclub@gmail.com. We hope to see you there!
