Wellness Week: April 11th-15th
Meet us live at one or all of these virtual 15 minute sessions, which occur twice each day at 9am and again at 5pm. Click the buttons below to sign up for a reminder and find the link to join for each session in Nexus. These sessions are designed for your body and mind to find REST, ways to RECHARGE, and help you be READY for a strong finish to this academic year. Every student who joins will receive a UConn School of Business sleep mask to help you celebrate the importance of rest. While you do need to log in so we can capture your name to send the mask, do not worry, you will not need to turn your camera on to participate. We hope you will join us as we seek to empower you in your wellness journey.

UConn Sexpert Drop-In Hours
UConn Sexpert Drop-In Hours
Thursday, May 2nd, 2024
09:00 AM - 11:30 AM
Wilson Hall, South Campus
UConn Sexpert Peer Support Drop-In Hours are a new, free service offered by peer health educators, the UConn Sexperts, on the UConn Storrs campus!
Peer Support Drop-In Hours are a great option for students who have questions about sex and sexual health, are looking for a non-judgmental, laid-back environment to discuss a sex related concern or issue, or are interested in improving their sexual health and personal well-being. Our UConn Sexperts are trained to provide education, support, and connection to resources on and off-campus on a wide variety of topics pertaining to sex, sexual health, and relationships.
UConn Sexperts (and supervising staff) are exempt employees under UConn’s Title IX Reporting Obligations. Peer support sessions are for educational and support purposes only. Peer support visits are not on-call or emergency services, and are not for individualized medical advice, nor are they counseling or therapy.
