How to Flourish Series 23-24🌸

How to Flourish” is a series of workshops hosted by Trotter Multicultural Center to help incoming historically marginalized undergraduate and graduate students “flourish” by exploring the different dimensions of the Wolverine Wellness Wheel. Using the Wellness Wheel model developed by the University Health Service's Wolverine Wellness program, we discuss the importance of holistic well-being while acknowledging how a student’s identity, culture, and heritage can affect their wellness experience. Using interactive workshop-based modules with wellness experts from on and off-campus, students will have access to tools, resources, and knowledge that support their holistic well-being at the University of Michigan and beyond.
