Treat Yourself: Make time for some self-care and research support.

The library will host a new event, Spa Day, on March 3 from 3-5pm on the 2nd floor of SLC. This is a come-and-go event. 

What is Spa Day?

This event is more than “pampering” or treating one’s self (both of which are great); it’s a chance for students to learn about ways to organize their library research enhance their time management skills set goals with intentionality and ground themselves in a world of chaos.

Spa Day means to foster self-empowerment and support students in building a life that incorporates self-care as a foundation for success, not an afterthought.

Librarians will lead mini-workshops covering topics such as:

• finding and using Creative Commons images
• maximizing their use of Google Scholar
• organizing their research with Google Drive, Ebsco Folder
• tools for sharing information easily online.

Groups also presenting programming are Mosaic (intention-setting), The Center for Career & Professional Development, SU Peer Mentors, SU Health Educators, the SU Makerspace 3D print lab, and The Office of Advising & Retention (planner organizing station) to name a few.

There will be mindful & fun origami and art stations, planner preparation/decoration activities, and raffle prizes and swag. We also hope to offer chair yoga, goal-setting/intention-setting exercises, kinetic relaxation, and more!

We also plan to have an on-site massage therapist to provide mini chair massage to students who attend 3 or more program activities that day. (See guide for details.)

Living with intention and being fully in the present can help students achieve their goals while minimizing stress and fatigue.
