Grad Ed Month: Graduate Student Well-being
April is Graduate Education Month! Each year, the Graduate College chooses a theme
for Grad Ed Month, and this year's theme is Graduate Student Well-being. Each week
throughout the month of April, we will focus on a facet of wellness in the new BetterU program. If you haven’t already checked out this program, you are invited to explore
it this month.
As a part of this year’s events, the Graduate College is hosting a BINGO competition for graduate students, staff and faculty. (Your BINGO card can be found attached
to the Monday Memos newsletters from March 29 and April 5.) These wellness-related activities can be
completed on your own time and so you can start marking off those squares today. As
soon as you “BINGO” (five boxes across the square - vertically, horizontally, or diagonally),
submit your card and be entered to win one of our prizes, including gift cards! Complete
a Blackout BINGO (all of the squares marked off) and you get multiple entries. Winners
will be drawn from each category: graduate students, staff and faculty. Do this with
a friend or colleague, and make your well-being a point of emphasis for Graduate Education
Month 2021!
