Walk of Hope, featuring a Health and Wellness Expo
Join us for the Walk of Hope beginning at the SSC!
The Walk of Hope is a meaningful event that brings our campus community together to raise awareness about suicide prevention, promote hope, and remind one another that no one must face life's challenges alone.
Participants will walk one mile in unison around campus before continuing the experience at our Health and Wellness Expo, where campus and community organizations will share valuable resources that support physical, mental, emotional, and social well-being. As a thank-you for participating, attendees who collect at least 10 stamps by visiting Health and Wellness Expo vendors and complete a brief survey using the QR code will receive a complimentary lunch.
We look forward to walking alongside you as we foster hope, connection, and wellness throughout our campus community.
