Student Wellness Calendar

Join us Thursday February 19 for our Kick-Off event for a newly launched program! 

The Pen Pal Program will match university students with members of the local community to exchange handwritten letters with the goals of:

– Combatting loneliness
– Integrating students into the local community
– Facilitating intergenerational and intercultural friendships

The program is completely free of charge and participants will be provided with recycled and donated stationary and materials. There will be two special events for participants on February 19 and April 30. You are not required to attend either, but they will be fun social opportunities to build community, pick up stationary supplies, and have a snack on us.
