Wellness, connection, and a little time to recharge! 🌿

So far this semester, our Work Well, Live Well series has brought the CHHS community together through a variety of experiences designed to support well-being in and beyond the workplace.

From 30-minute group walks around campus, to exploring the community garden and creating seasonal take-home arrangements, to slowing down and leaning into our listening skills during a humNet Circle, each event has offered a different way to step away from the everyday routine, connect with others, and make time for wellness.

Thank you to everyone who has joined us so far! 🦉💙

Hands-on learning in action! 👏

This week, first-year Occupational Therapy students put their skills to the test by learning how to assess hand strength and dexterity using tools and assessments such as dynamometers, pinch gauges, the Box and Blocks Test, and more.

Students compared their results with normative data to determine whether performance fell within expected ranges and practiced functional tasks involving a variety of grasps and upper-extremity movements used in everyday activities.

These hands-on experiences are helping our future occupational therapists build the practical skills and clinical knowledge they’ll use to help others participate more fully in the activities that matter most. 🦉

Inspiring the next generation of nurses! 💙🩺

Last week, the College of Health and Human Services School of Nursing welcomed local high school students to campus for the Summer Nursing Symposium.
