Dear College of Education Staff and Faculty,
This Tuesday, September 19, our new self-care guide Vanessa Villavicencio will launch Weight Winners, a weight management self-care activity. Join VV bi-monthly from 12-1 in EDUC 1214to learn tried-and-true strategies for managing weight, ideas for tasty low-calorie entrees, and easy-to-follow recipes for special snacks! Also, every Tuesday, we continue with our regular mindfulness meditation sessions including some relaxing chair yoga from 2-2:30 in the CTL conference room.
On Wednesday, September 20, faculty and staff have a wonderful opportunity to attend the 2017 Benefits & Wellness Fair, which starts at 9 am at CSUN’s Student Recreation Center. Stop by to enjoy giveaways, sign up to receive a free health screening, take a tour of the SRC & Oasis Center, and participate in Walkability Wednesday! Leaving SRC at noon, this year’s walk will be led by our own Self-care Facilitator and Interim Dean Shari Tarver Behring!
