Finals Week Wellness

De-stress during finals week with fun and healthy options!

University Health & Wellness (UHW) is now offering opportunities for students to be able to implement various aspects of wellness during FINALS WEEK, including physical, mental, spiritual and social wellness. Following the newly implemented DAILY WELLNESS THEME hashtag trend, UHW is promoting the themes throughout all of finals week.

The Finals Wellness Week will kick off on #StressfreeSunday, April 29, 2018, from 12–3 p.m. with FREE 10-minute massages in our new state-of-the art 3D massage chair located in the Health & Wellness lounge (Campus Center 168). You can now book your appointment HERE. There will also be sidewalk chalk as you wait for your massage appointment so that you may be able to express or even explore your creative side.

#MindfulMonday Tai Chi class will be held from 11:30 a.m.–12:15 p.m. (lead by Xiaoming Xu) on the lawn in front of the Campus Center. At the same time, the Counseling & Testing Center (CTC) will be providing therapy dogs from 11:30 a.m.–2 p.m. So don’t miss out on this opportunity! From 5–7 p.m. we will be hosting a prayer booth for all those students who feel like they need extra prayers during finals week. Fitness Express will also take place in the Lamson Health Club from 6–6:45 p.m. (offered on Wednesday as well) with an intense workout lead by our own UHW director, Dominique Gummelt.

#TastyTuesday will consist of a very delicious fruit salad bar with various nuts as toppings. This will be right in front of the Wellness Lounge from 11:30 a.m.–2:30 p.m. and once again the CTC will be bringing therapy dogs for those who missed the opportunity on Monday.

#WorkoutWednesday will feature an opportunity to earn more free massages on our amazing massage chair by simply participating in a short 5-minute trampoline challenge. The challenge will consist of jumping just 5 minutes on the mini trampoline and then receiving a wonderful 10-minute massage in the awesome massage chair.

Yet again, on Thursday, there will be another opportunity to win free massages by simply participating in our #ThoughtfulThursday social media challenge. You can participate by liking and following our Facebook account. The wellness challenge will consist of doing 5 random acts of kindness to exercise social wellness (they will be posted on the UHW Facebook page).

Do not miss out on these amazing de-stressing healthy opportunities during the craze of finals week! For more information visit andrews.edu/wellness or email wellness@andrews.edu.
