The day-long festivities get underway with a Self-Care Resource Fair from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. in the Student Center. Throughout the day yoga, therapy dogs, religious organizations, student organizations and non-profits as well as a relaxing massage chair will be available to help unwind and enjoy a mental health break from daily routines.
