Join us for the Kindness Challenge, a campus-wide initiative designed to uplift, connect, and empower our student community!
Each week, we’ll be hosting tabling events across campus where you can take part in simple acts of kindness, pick up inspirational messages, and learn how kindness boosts mental health, combats loneliness, and builds a stronger sense of belonging.
We’re also bringing awareness to the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, helping students know where to turn when they or someone they know needs support.
Stop by, take the challenge, and let’s create a ripple effect of kindness across campus—because small actions can make a big difference. 💬✨
