“Don’t Cancel Class<\/a>\u201d is an initiative from the Student Health and Wellness Center<\/a> that invites faculty and instructional staff to schedule a wellness program for their class in the event of a planned absence or as part of the class plan.<\/p>\n

SHAW offers a menu of workshops, discussions and trainings focused on topics like stress management, nutrition and body image, healthy relationships, sleep and overall wellness. When students are supported and well, they perform better academically. Instead of canceling class, consider using that time as an opportunity to foster student well-being and success.<\/p>\n
