The Best Versions of Ourself Wellness Series — Begins

“Despite the forecast, live like it’s spring!” —Lilly Pulitzer

Join the Diversity Collective Academic Administrative Subcommittee (DCAAS) in a paced wellness series March 17–April 30, where we invite our FIT community members to reconnect with colleagues and renew our spirits with the changing of seasons.

Explore and complete the wellness activities identified on a bingo card, which you can request by filling out this Google form or find a hard copy that will be distributed to campus offices. With each activity, a DCAAS member will initial your way to discovering a best version of yourself.

Can’t complete every activity? No need. Participate as you can. Each step we take to connect with each other and ourselves is another day that we’ve made progress towards developing our personal growth.

Check off the following activities and fill out your bingo card:

ANYTIME: Connect with Colleagues at a Local Cafe or Restaurant
Schedule a meal with a colleague or colleagues off campus between March 17 and April 30. Initial and date each other’s bingo card.

ANYTIME: Engage in a Spiritual Activity (meditation, prayer, mindfulness, etc.)
Select an activity that resonates with you between March 17 and April 30. Initial and date your own bingo card.
