We are so excited to provide the AUCVM with a week full of promoting self care, supporting colleagues, and remembering why we chose to pursue this career. Each year during the Spring semester, the SAVMA wellness chairs put together Wellness Week. This year's theme is 'Plant. Nourish. Grow.' We will have a collection of guest speakers and wellness based activities curated for the AUCVM community. In the Fall semester we host Wellness Series, which is a semester-long collection of fun wellness meetings and events. Below you will be able to find resources including the speaker and activity schedule. We are leaving the information below all year long, so that you can continue to practice wellness strategies and refer back to it as needed.
If you have any questions about Wellness Week or any of our other wellness events, please reach out to Sarah Mason (sem0089@auburn.edu) or Bella Coppock (irc0007@auburn.edu).
