Whether you need a quiet moment to reflect, process your thoughts, or simply enjoy a break between classes, journaling is a great place to start. Stop by the Memorial Chapel, take a breath of fresh air, and use one of the journals and pens available on our outdoor benches. They're here for anyone to use, anytime.

Happy Belated Pioneer Day!

Celebrated each year on July 24, Pioneer Day commemorates the arrival of the first Mormon pioneers in the Salt Lake Valley in 1847.

Happy International Self Care Day! 💙

Take some time this weekend to treat yourself -- whether that means getting outside, spending time with loved ones, resting, or doing something that brings you joy. Remember, taking care of yourself is an important part of taking care of others, too.
