Spartans Thrive Announces Second Wellness Takeover Day
Following a successful inaugural event, Spartans Thrive is set to host another Wellness Takeover Day on April 7, 2027. The initiative is inviting all campus departments and units to prepare for participation in this upcoming celebration.
Last Year’s Success
In the previous year, approximately 4,800 students engaged in a variety of activities designed to promote well-being across the campus. The day was filled with experiences that encouraged movement, creativity, connection, and fun, all aimed at enhancing the wellness of the Spartan community.
Enhanced Engagement for 2027
Spartans Thrive is committed to making the next Wellness Takeover Day even more dynamic and inviting. The Divisions of Student Success and Student Affairs are collaborating to create another vibrant campus-wide celebration that embraces the spirit of spring.
Call for Participation
As the spring semester approaches, faculty, staff, departments, programs, and student organizations will receive invitations to propose activities for the event. Spartans Thrive is encouraging participants to start brainstorming innovative ideas now in anticipation of submission openings in January.
Ideas for Engagement
Organizers are seeking interactive and unexpected activities that will engage students. The goal is to create experiences that encourage participation, laughter, creativity, and opportunities for connection while allowing students to recharge or take a break. Ideas can focus on various aspects of wellness, including physical, emotional, social, financial, intellectual, environmental, career, or cultural wellness.
Looking Ahead
Participants are encouraged to reflect on the previous year’s events for inspiration as they develop their proposals. With the date set for April 7, 2027, Spartans Thrive looks forward to another successful Wellness Takeover Day, inviting all to contribute to this important campus initiative.
