Different snacks can impact focus, memory and energy. Snacks like nuts and seeds, dark chocolate, fruits, yogurt and whole grains can sustain energy, support brain function and keep you full, but junk food can lead to energy crashes. RecWell and the Center for Student Success will be on the BSC Patio on Tuesday, October 6 from 11am - 1 pm handing out healthy snacks and providing information on tutoring, the best snacks while studying, and helpful study tips. There will also be a raffle for noise canceling headphones and a Needoh!

On Wednesday, September 16, clubs, departments, and athletic teams across campus came together to take the pledge against hazing, representing a shared promise to treat one another with respect, support, and dignity.

By standing against hazing, we are helping create an environment where everyone feels they belong, every voice is valued, and every individual has the opportunity to thrive.

Thank you to everyone who took the pledge and reaffirmed our commitment to building a safer, more inclusive, and more supportive campus for all.
