Free 'Intro to Mindfulness Class'

UWL Counseling & Testing, Wellness & Health Advocacy and Rec Sports have teamed up to provide non-credit "Intro to Mindfulness" courses for the campus community! 

Mindfulness is simple, but not easy. Our four-week "Intro to Mindfulness" is an introductory class that will teach students the skill of mindfulness. It will also help you build the habit of using it in your life on a regular basis. Positive outcomes include:

  • Less self judgment

  • Manage stress

  • Increased self-compassion

  • Better sleep

  • Increased calm

We are offering a summer session of the course over the lunch hour for students, faculty and staff to attend this summer. 

The session starts on Wednesday, June 11 with a registration deadline of Wednesday, June 4.

There is no fee to attend, however attendees must register in advance by the deadline. More information and registration are available on the Rec Sports Intro to Mindfulness webpage.

Lisa Walker, Residence Life thanks Anthony Meidl, Landscape Services

Thanks to Anthony Meidl, Landscape Services, for his grounds team's work clearing the dumped and abandoned furniture after closing. How quickly this team was able to transform the dumpster areas back into clean and safe spaces was no doubt a lot of work and they cleared it quickly and efficiently. Much appreciation to you from the Residence Life team!
