Students Today

Join the staff of the EKU Counseling Center today for a workshop on Mindfulness. Being isolated in quarantine can lead to spending a lot of time on various activities that take your attention away from the present moment. Practicing mindfulness can be a great opportunity to improve your mental health by challenging yourself to be present and aware of your thoughts and feelings. In this workshop, you will learn tools that can help you practice mindfulness and work towards reducing and preventing stress, anxiety, depression, as well as many other concerns you may be experiencing.

The EKU Winter team will be stationed in the lower lobby of Powell today to give you an opportunity to drop in, grab some swag and a warm beverage from our hot chocolate and cider station, and chat about how Winter Session at EKU can benefit your degree progression.
With over 120 courses available, EKU Winter term is a great time to catch up or get ahead!
Drop in...warm up...learn more!
