Visit Your Wellness Room Today!

Incorporating wellness into your daily routine can reduce stress and burnout while building a foundation for beneficial self-care practices. When you need a break between classes or from studying, visit the library's Wellness Room. Located on the third floor, the room is available without a reservation. It offers a variety of resources to help you unwind, recover from sensory overload, or incorporate restorative movement into your day.

• Comfy, sturdy chair
• Fold-out couch for reclining or laying down 
• Handheld fidget/sensory tools 
• Stretching tools- yoga mat, yoga blocks, foam roller, and massage peanut 
• Weighted blanket, weighted plush, and throw blankets 
• Soft lighting with soothing sound options 
• Meditation cushion and pillows  
• Prayer rugs and shawls 
• Height adjustable table on wheels and low, lightweight table 
• Coloring supplies 
• Mirror and tissue 
• Information about campus resources (food pantries, etc.)

Here are some helpful guidelines for the space to prepare you for a visit:

• Please remember that the Wellness Room is not a study space
• Be mindful of other students' need to use the room
• Do your part to help keep the space tidy- pick up pillows/blankets, dispose of trash, and wipe down surfaces 
• All supplies must remain in the room
