The Wellness Resource Center, in collaboration with University Public Affairs and other departments on campus, is pleased to invite you to participate in a celebration of all of the ways RAMS relax during finals.

#MindfulFinals is a social media campaign that aims to utilize Instagram and SnapChat to change the conversation around Finals week to promote mindful approaches to stress and anxiety.

Beginning November 28th, 2016, VCU’s Instagram and Twitter will launch the campaign by asking VCU students, faculty and staff to upload photos of themselves in their happy place or practicing mindfulness with the hashtag #mindfulfinals.

Photos can also be emailed to socialmedia@vcu.edu if your account is private or if you don’t have social media.

Join the conversation beginning November 28th through the end of the semester!
