"Prioritize You: Wellness at 91ɫƵ” Brightspace Course
91ɫƵ students are extremely busy, therefore this wellness programming is respectful of learners’ time, with each module being self-paced and broken down into manageable chunks. (e.g., 20-30 minutes per unit, etc.) Modules are delivered with different learning styles in mind; using multimedia, such as podcast episodes, recorded presentations, journal articles, etc. Many modules coincide with a short pre- and post-test and/or reflection assignment to enhance the learning experience.
Topics include managing anxiety during board preparation, thriving in uncertainty as Match Day and/or graduation approaches, embracing failure and more! Some modules also are made up of resources related to certain dimensions of wellness, such as nutrition and fitness.
This resource offers students space to explore and expand their whole selves while at 91ɫƵ.
