Stressed? Tired? Wishing there was some way to be less stressed and/or tired? Tonight the Advocacy Ambassadors will be holding a tabling session outside of Leavey Library, providing candy and information on the multitude of on-campus resources available to USC students.

It's a beautiful Tuesday morning, friends! If you're feeling in need of a little pick-me-up this morning, (in case you didn't already know, it's Valentine's Day aka ) stop by the USC OWHP Student Wellness Lounge (located in Engemann, Room 203) for some FREE coffee/tea/hot chocolate, a relaxing massage on a massage chair, and hygiene+healthcare items such as bandaid/cold kits, sunblock, and feminine products!
I love stopping by this cozy lounge to get my Tuesday afternoon coffee fix and to get some mid-day studying done:)

Hello all! We are the USC Student Support and Advocacy Ambassadors! Welcome to our page! As Advocacy Ambassadors, our jobs are to educate peers on important life skills and campus resources that promote academic and personal success. Our main job is to offer educational workshops and programs to student organizations and groups about Student Support and Advocacy and other campus wide resources.
During our training, we learned so much about the many resources USC has to offer to its students that not many people know about. So, we hope to use this page to share all that USC has to offer to promote student life and wellness! We will be posting things from tips on wellness to our favorite resource centers on campus- anything and everything related to making YOUR college experience a positive, stress-free (or less stressful. Some stress is good! But we'll talk about that later 😊), and healthy one. So like our page for some great tips and information to brighten up your newsfeed! Fight on!
- Angela, Emma, Galen, and Maya
