Student mental health and wellness is at the heart of a new University of Lethbridge initiative to be launched on Thursday, Jan. 26. The first R.E.C. Room will be unveiled — a campus hub designed to invite students to step away from the stress of study and research to relax their minds and connect with one another.
WHAT: The R.E.C. Room unveiling
WHEN: Thursday, January 26, 2023, at 11 a.m. in the University Hall Atrium
WHO: President & Vice-Chancellor Dr. Mike Mahon and representatives from Student Services, the University of Lethbridge Students’ Union and Student Affairs will be on hand to open the new space.
Interested in relaxing with a game of giant Jenga? Perhaps a rousing ping pong session or Mario Kart challenge is what eases your stress. The R.E.C. Room is here to take student mental health to a new level, where well-being is supported through play and community interaction.
