The Well Space. What is it? Where is it? Who can use it? What is the purpose? It’s designed to focus on well-being where students can relax and de-stress.
The Well Space is exactly what you want it to be within the realm of well-being. It is located in the Student Recreation Center immediately to your left once you walk through the front doors.
It’s usually staffed by a peer educator between the hours of 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. Monday through Friday.
The Well Space can be used for a variety of well-being needs. There’s a comfortable couch, so you can do homework or even take a nap. There’s also a table and chairs if you prefer working at a desk.
This can also be a great place to meet up for a group project or meeting because it’s always pretty quiet and there’s plenty of seating. If that doesn’t entice you to check out the Well Space, we also have orbeez and kinetic sand. If you have never seen or played with orbeez, you are seriously missing out.
Orbeez are little balls that expand with water and they come in all sorts of colors. Kinetic sand is just like regular sand, but it’s blue and has much better shape retention.
If you’ve ever wanted to build a small, but grand sandcastle, now is your chance.
The supplies don’t stop there either. The Well Space has coloring pages and colored pencils, so no need to supply your own. There’s also a Rubik’s cube if you want a challenging puzzle.
If that’s not your jam, there’s also regular puzzles you can solve. You can also test your abilities with our escape room game! If you have a snack you need to put in a fridge or heat up, we’ve got you covered with a mini fridge, a microwave and even a Keurig!
There’s also a plethora of campus and wellness resources available to students. There’s condoms, internal condoms and dental dams. If you have questions about any of those, peer educators are there to help!
Peer educators can also provide you with a map of where free condoms are on campus, as well as resources to access for your overall wellness. For example, if you don’t know where the Counseling and Testing Center is, we can give you directions or explain how to make an appointment.
We can also help you find the Student Health Clinic, which will be on campus again soon! If you need help finding something, we can help answer your questions or get you connected with resources.
We all need help finding certain offices, buildings, and resources sometimes, and we can help you!
The Well Space is a space to help you practice well-being in a way that works for you. If you stop by and have a great idea for another addition, let us know!
The Well Space is here to help you focus on your overall well-being and know that we are here for you.
