Wellness Workshops:

"This Round's on Us"
"This Round's On Us" focuses on ways to be responsible with alcohol. At this interactive workshop, you will discuss the role that alcohol plays in the lives of UIC students, discover the truth about alcohol myths, and learn about the consequences of alcohol use, misuse and abuse. Do you think you still have good judgment after a few drinks? Look through our "booza-vision" goggles and guess again! This is a fun yet informing workshop that engages an audience while also educating them.

"Cover Your Lover"
Find out why oil is a no-no. Learn how whip crème could be costly. Did you know that condoms are not just for men anymore and that sexually transmitted infections (STI's) can be transmitted orally as well? If not, come learn about the latest in birth control, STI's and protection. Cover Your Lover is a wellness workshop that provides answers to your sexual wellness questions including relationships, contraception, abstinence, and STI's.

"Stress: The Eye of the Storm"
The train delay the morning of your exam, computer problems the night before a big paper is due, the roommates who expect you to clean up after them… we all deal with stress every day. Join us for this workshop and learn to identify stress and its effects, and discuss stress management tips and relaxation techniques which will help you throughout the school year.

"Fit for Life"
Not sure if you should eat a high-fat/low-carbohydrate diet! What exactly is a serving size? Can 20 minutes change your life? Having trouble sorting through dieting myths, making healthy food choices, and motivating yourself? This workshop can help you make the choices that are right for you!
