SIU’s Salukis Care Week to Promote Wellness and Student Success

Southern Illinois University Carbondale is highlighting student wellness with a weeklong Salukis Care celebration, set for October 6 - 9.

The theme this year is Salukis Striving, United, Soaring and Succeeding. Daily events will focus on mental health, fitness, financial literacy and stress relief, leading up to the university’s fall break. Activities include healthy snacks, Zumba and yoga classes, a rock climbing wall, and the popular Salukis Care Day in Faner Plaza on October eighth. Students can also check in on their mental health, enjoy games and food, and connect with campus police at “Cops with Pops.”

The week wraps up October 9 with a hands-on workshop in the Japanese art of kintsugi.
