Because YELLOW stands
for happiness, positivity, energy, optimism, and joy, we are asking for
our campus community to wear YELLOW on Wednesdays to help promote
our Wellness Wednesday efforts. Be on the lookout for the Peer Mediators’
yellow ribbons you can wear on Wednesdays in addition to your RED for ED.
We also invite you to encourage your students to
visit our Wellness Wednesday lounge in the counseling center at lunch every
Wednesday. It’s the perfect spot to de-stress and decompress.
To spread the good news of our wellness efforts,
please use the hashtag #BeWellRedDevils
in sharing your Wellness Wednesday activities.
Be Well Red Devils!
