The goal for Wellness Day was for individuals to focus on their needs. That could mean participating in planned activities in community, making time for themselves, focusing on their well-being in another way that suits them best, or working on schoolwork. 

University leaders encouraged students to set out on campus and engage with others or do something to take care of themselves.
