The Honors College and UMatter2 are challenging all students, faculty, and staff to “Honor Yourself” with a week of wellness-oriented events starting Monday, Oct. 17.

Our goal is to help all members of our community to build a toolkit of resources and strategies to center your well-being, even during stressful times.
