Spartan Wellness Day

The Spartan Wellness Day Committee, M State Office of Housing and Residential Life, and the Spartans Living Well Coalition invite wellness and health-oriented businesses and organizations to be a part of Spartan Wellness Day 2018. This year’s theme is "Creating a Culture of Wellness."

Please plan to join us from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesday, September 5, 2018 for Spartan Wellness Day. This event will offer holistic activities that emphasize health, wellness, stress reduction and stress management. Share your expertise with students and employees through hands-on, experiential activities that give people the chance to engage in intentional whole-person wellness.

What do we mean by wellness activities? For example:

?h Are you a masseuse who could offer five-minute massages?

?h Do you have self-care tips and tricks that can be taught in a few minutes?

?h If you are artistic, could you lead a creative expression activity of some sort?

?h How about healthy eating? Are you a nutritionist, cook or restaurant owner with simple healthy recipes that you could prepare and offer as samples?

?h Are you a chiropractor, mental health or physical health practitioner/clinician who could offer a complimentary health screening or assessment?

?h Would you like to run an activity station such as bean bags, jumbo Jenga or bounce house?

?h Are you a financial planner/organization with activities that can help participants focus on financial health?

?h Are you an educator, provider who can inform and host activities regarding occupational and or environmental health and wellness?

If you’re unable to sponsor an activity, please consider donating prizes for drawings – prizes such as a monthly or annual fitness membership; gift certificate for massages, golf, movies or food; or a Fitbit, bike or other fitness or health-related item. Spartan Wellness Day is a chance to:

?h Introduce and promote your wellness services to M State students and staff

?h Offer student discounts

?h Raise awareness of community resources for health and wellness
