Eat Well

There are multiple healthy options to be found on campus. Save money and take advantage of the meal plan. You may find a beautiful spot on campus to pack a lunch with healthy options.  

Add fitness to your routine

University Recreation facilities (The Williams-Brice Physical Education Center, swimming pool, and HTC Recreation Center) are for the use and enjoyment of recreational activities for students, faculty and staff. Find ways to become active doing something you enjoy.

Two minutes of chair yoga - stretching and breathing - can increase your fitness and focus. Go ahead and close your office door and give these a try.
