This year, we're going to be focusing on the role wellness plays in our social justice journeys. With the uprising of social movements over the summer, a global pandemic, and continuing complexities in our personal lives, it's easy to forget to take care of ourselves. Each month, we will focus on a different segment of the Wellness Wheel. This month is Environmental Wellness. We'll be holding dialogue on some of these questions:

What are your worries/concerns for this semester?

What do you need in your environment to “be productive”?

What does “being productive” mean to you? “Success”?

What can you do to set yourself up for success this year?

How can we help you reach your goals?

We are excited to share our first virtual series of events 'How to Flourish'. Over the month of September, the LEAD Scholars Program and Trotter will be hosting a series of workshops that support the holistic wellbeing of students. We are working with many campus partners to provide resources on the following topics:
9/9 5:30-7pm Financial Wellness 9/16 Academic Wellness 5:30-6:30pm 9/23 Emotional and Mental Wellness 5:30-6:30pm9/30 Physical Wellness 5:30-6:30pmZoom link: umich.zoom.us/j/91247923421

As a first-year student, figuring out what you need to do to get an internship in the era of COVID-19 or understanding what interests you have is hard -- 💯. It’s difficult to know what employers look for or how might your interests equal a job or a major.
No worries, we designed an experience just for you.

During this 50-minute workshop, we hope to...
- Walk you through what employers look for in interns
- Help you set goals to prepare yourself to be a GREAT candidate
- Debunk major and career connection
- Guide you on how to use our resources to gain experience
- Navigate the challenges in finding virtual internship opportunities

You should come if you…
- Are a first-year student or a transfer student and want to create community with your classmates.
- Want to know what experiences employers look for and how to get it.
- Have been asked at least 50 times already, “what’s your major?”
- Aren’t totally sure on what the “University Career Center” does.

In collaboration with Adventure Leadership the Presidents Experience will develop chapter and council presidents' of the fraternity and sorority community leadership and personal skills such as relationship building, enhancing self-awareness, and much more. This experience was created because current and past presidents communicated that they wanted another chance to build relationships with presidents from all four councils in the Fall Semester.
This year, the Presidents Experience will be held virtually on Sunday, October 4th, 2020.
