Quiz: UV Safety Awareness Month
July is Ultraviolet (UV) Safety Awareness Month, a time to focus on protecting yourself and others from the harmful effects of UV radiation, especially during summer months when sun exposure increases. This month serves as a reminder to be mindful of the sun’s rays and take necessary precautions to prevent sunburn, sun damage and skin cancer.
Take this quiz by Friday, July 25, to be entered for a chance to win a sun safety gift basket!
Hydration Hustle: 7-Day Challenge
Feeling HOT HOT HOT! Summer is upon us, which means it is hot outside. It is the perfect time to ensure we are hydrated! Spending time in the sun and the heat makes it easy for us to become dehydrated if we don’t intentionally replace the water we’re losing. Water fuels our bodies, enhances our energy levels and keeps us at the top of our game.
Join the 7-day hydration hustle to help you stay hydrated and healthy throughout the summer and beyond!
Sip Into Summer: Fruit-Infused Hydration Stations
Refresh and refocus with our limited-time fruit-infused hydration stations at multiple campus locations and take home a complimentary tumbler to keep the good vibes (and hydration) going! Complimentary tumbler (while supplies last!) – reusable, Wellness Initiative-branded and perfect for refills!
