Health and Wellness Week at NSCAD

From April 19-22, 2022, join us for Health and Wellness Week at NSCAD University, where several events are being planned to help students unwind after a busy semester. We will have prizes, giveaways, and refreshments!

Events line-up:

Date: April 19, 2022
Location: D230, Fountain Campus

Come relieve some of that end-of-term stress by visiting with a therapy dog team from St. John’s Ambulance.

Registration is not required for this event.

Note: The therapy dog team will be located in D230 so that those who may not wish to be around a dog can avoid the area. The therapy dog team will enter the building from Duke Street and take the elevator shortly before the scheduled time.

Date: April 21, 2022
Location: Second floor presentation area, Port Campus

Details: This workshop is designed to teach you methods to root your creative process in your physical experiences. We will

Bring a sketchbook, notepad, a ball of clay, or anything you can use to put down ideas.

Refreshments will be available!
