Programs:
Wellness
Special "wellness" events are scheduled periodically throughout the year. Events may include a walking incentive program, an equipment usage clinic and "super" aerobic, dance or yoga classes.
Crafts Corner
Craft Corner programs are another great option, perfect for those nights when you'd like to take a break from studying and just relax.
This series of craft projects is taught by a variety of skilled instructors who create a fun and stress-free atmosphere. Crafts projects offer something for every taste; no experience is necessary.
Each finished project adds a "homey" look to any dorm room or can be given as gift. Recent projects were holiday decoupage plates, wreaths and ornaments. Most classes including all required materials and supplies are offered for a small fee.
