Meditation Monday

📢 Update: This session is now VIRTUAL ONLY!

Join us TODAY for a brief but impactful 20-minute Mindfulness Mental Health Check-In (whereever you are!), designed to help you pause, breathe, and reset in the middle of your busy day. This virtual session will guide you through simple mindfulness practices, including deep breathing and a short body scan, to reduce stress and support mental clarity.

We will also take a few moments to reflect on our current mental state, gently acknowledging thoughts and feelings without judgment. This check-in offers a safe, supportive space to slow down, tune in, and practice self-care so you can return to your day feeling more centered and refreshed.

Who It’s For:
Anyone looking for a quick mental reset. Whether you are new to mindfulness or have experience, all are welcome. No special equipment or preparation is needed. Just come as you are.

🕓 When:
Mondays at 4:00 PM

📍 Where:
Virtual via Google Meet

ICYMI: Celebrate the Outstanding Women of Southwestern 💛

Celebrate this year's Outstanding Women of Southwestern in the virtual gallery. Representing all areas of the Southwestern community from faculty and staff to alumni and current students, this year's honorees were chosen on the International Women's Day theme, "Give to Gain." These women were selected by the IWD Committee, composed of Student Foundation members, for their devotion to lifting up those around them. Together, they reflect the power of giving back and the lasting impact of supporting others within the Southwestern community. Explore the gallery to learn more about the remarkable ways each honoree makes a difference.
