Four Seasons of Wellness

What is important, what matters, what is precious.

When something is important, we spend time on it, care for it, nurture and grow it. When something is precious, we may do the same and also protect it.ÌýÌý

As we think about what matters, is important and is precious, we are reminded that we are part of a herd in which each member is important, matters and is precious. In the College of Arts and Sciences, we are helping to protect our herd with a range of wellness resources. As this semester begins, remember that you are part of the herd, you are important and you matter and are worth protecting.

The river bridges and star charts and song harmonies
All in service to a simple idea:

That we can make a house called tomorrow.
What we bring, finally, into the new day, every day,

Is ourselves. And that’s all we need
To start. That’s everything we require to keep going.

Look back only for as long as you must,
Then go forward into the history you will make.
