The deadlinefor first-year students to apply for a mentor from the Fontaine Mentor Progam is 🚨THIS FRIDAY AT 11:59pm!🚨 Don't miss this awesome chance to become more acquainted with UGA.
Check out these helpful nutrition apps that promote more mindful or intuitive eating based approaches. The commonality of these apps is that they do not promote or prescribe a certain pattern of eating; rather, they guide the user in employing their own internal cues of hunger and fullness to increase their awareness of their individual eating pattern and choices.
The Return to Campus student training module is now available. To access the module, log into eLC and select the “Required COVID-19 Student” course. Training should be completed before returning to campus on or before August 20, 2020. #DawgStrong #WelcomeUGA

There are things we can control and things that we simply cannot control. Letting go of the things we cannot control can help promote well-being. One thing we can control is what we do to take care of ourselves during this time. What are you doing to take care of yourself today? Try dedicating 5 minutes to do something that makes you happy, energized, or relaxed. #BeWellUGA #UHCCares #FontaineCares #HPCares

Thank you to the wonderful staff of the Health Center. I arrived this morning to have my glasses repaired. I arrived and saw many staff from various departments outside getting ready for the day. Every one practiced social distancing and wore masks and gloves. Great job.
Community and self-care are evidence-based strategies that increase student success and thriving. Join us Five Points Yoga to dig deep, build lasting community, and leave with a holistic self-care plan based on the self-care wheel and yoga philosophy.

The staff and the doctors know what they doing. I feel a lot better already.
Any dates on the Graduate Student Support Group for this semester?
