THRIVE week, hosted by the Health and Wellness Peer Education Program at the College, makes it clear that wellness is not merely the absence of illness or distress, but a lifelong process that consists of seven dimensions: spiritual, emotional, intellectual, physical, social, environmental and financial. Although it may be unrealistic to simultaneously improve in all seven dimensions, individuals can make an action plan, working through the dimensions over time.
Students spent a rainy afternoon celebrating healthy lifestyle choices at the THRIVE: Wellness Expo on Wednesday, April 4 in the Student Recreation Center.
