We’re already a month into the spring semester, and longer days and warmer weather are on the horizon!
As we navigate the rest of winter, please be reminded of the Well-Being at Iowa site, a resource for faculty, staff, and students. You can connect with fitness and nutrition services, mindfulness programs, safety supports, and more to prioritize your physical and mental health.
Take care of yourself. As always, thank you for all you do and for being a part of CLAS.
