Student Wellness Project

It’s simple: this week, let’s be nice to each other.

The Student Wellness Project presents Random Acts of Kindness Week starting April 2nd and ending April 6th! At a stressful place like Columbia, we want to take the time to remind each other how much we care. Our goal is to spread cheer and love around campus, and we need your help.

Our request is that you take the time during this week to perform random acts of kindness to both your friends and strangers.

If you are a student group and would like to get involved, please contact us ASAP at swpcore@googlegroups.com.

Here’s the official flyer, with a list of events!
