Caring for others starts with caring for yourself. 💚

Our global World Mental Health Week campaign kicked off with a Wellness Café session hosted by our Counseling & Wellness Team for AURORA members.

Over tea and snacks, students discussed the joys and challenges of supporting others, shared concerns, and explored how to respond when someone is in crisis.

A reminder for everyone championing mental health on campus: your own wellbeing matters, too

Walking together for disability inclusion. 💙

AKU students joined the CoRSU Disability Walk 2026 at MUBS Sports Grounds, coming together in support of CoRSU Rehabilitation Hospital and its work with children living with physical disabilities.

The walk raised awareness of and support for corrective surgeries, therapy, and access to mobility, while bringing the community together for a cause that matters.
