In Motion Mondays
In Motion Mondays is a biweekly program designed to support students in cultivating a healthy and sustainable relationship with their bodies and well-being. Rooted in principles of body neutrality and body compassion, this series seeks to dismantle harmful aspects of diet culture and redefine what it means to move for wellness rather than appearance. Each session integrates educational discussions with accessible movement practices, encouraging participants to engage with their bodies in ways that feel supportive, enjoyable, and restorative. By fostering a community of reflection and empowerment, In Motion Mondays aims to help participants build resilience against societal pressures, deepen self-awareness, and embrace a holistic approach to health.
Talk About It Tuesdays
Talk About It Tuesdays is a biweekly series created to give students a forum to educate, create awareness and practice practical methods to destress and manage emotions.聽Stress is a natural human reaction that happens to everyone, especially college students. Stress can be positive as it can motivate us to complete certain tasks. However, long-term stress, also known as chronic stress, can lead to many health issues affecting the immune system, digestive system, cardiovascular system, and reproductive system. Stress can also put students at higher risk of developing a mental health condition, like depression or anxiety. Talk About It Tuesdays are designed to relieve and prevent chronic stress among 61传媒students. Biweekly programming focuses on destressing activities, such as movie nights, craft nights, and going on walks with dogs.
Sexual Wellness Wednesdays
Sexual Wellness Wednesdays is a biweekly series dedicated to empowering students with knowledge and tools to make informed decisions about their sexual and reproductive health. Each session addresses topics such as contraception, consent, STI prevention, communication in relationships, and navigating sexual wellness with confidence. Designed to foster open dialogue and reduce stigma, this program creates a safe, inclusive space for students to ask questions, challenge misconceptions, and engage in critical conversations around healthy relationships. By combining evidence-based education with interactive discussions, Sexual Wellness Wednesdays promotes a holistic understanding of sexual health that emphasizes respect, self-advocacy, and well-being.
A special program is the Condom Canary program where students can ask for and supplies they need, and a Peer Health Educator packages them up and sends it to their mailbox so that students always feel prepared with what they need. An average of 10 students utilizes the Condom Canary program weekly.
Training Thursdays
Finish Strong Fridays is a biweekly program designed to help students prioritize their physical health and nutrition while building supportive habits within a community of peers. Each session offers practical strategies for sustaining energy, supporting fitness goals, and maintaining balance through mindful nutrition and accessible physical activity. Emphasizing evidence-based approaches, the program covers topics such as fueling for academic and athletic performance, building sustainable exercise routines, managing stress through movement, and making informed choices in the dining hall and beyond. By fostering peer connection and shared accountability, Training Thursdays encourages students to approach wellness as a collaborative journey鈥攆ocusing on strength, balance, and long-term well-being rather than quick fixes.
