Student Health Promotion Events:
Time to Ungrind Kickoff and Monthly Wellness Challenges
Time to Ungrind is a campaign to address the hustle and grind culture that is prevalent in many of our student's lives and impacts mental health and overall well-being. Our campaign hopes to help students recognize & prioritize self-care, balance, and wellness in alignment with achieving their academic and professional goals.
Each month, SHP will focus on a different domain of wellness, based on priorities of CU Anschutz students from the National College Health Assessment offered in Spring 2025. Each month we will host a kick-off event for students on the Education 2 Skybridge from 12:00pm-1:00pm. By attending students can win prizes, learn about upcoming events for the month, and enjoy food and engaging activities.
For students that participate in the monthly challenges, which include behaviors you can track yourself, attending events, or learning about support resources, students may submit a entry for prizes. Students simply complete one or more of the challenges and by submitting their entry form they are entered to win a $100 Amazon Gift Card or other prizes!
Kickoff Events and Monthly Wellness Themes:
9/8 - September's Theme: Social Connection
10/6 - October's Theme: Mental Health
11/10 - November's Theme: Basic Needs
All kickoff events are held on the ED2 Skybridge from 12-1pm.
The BRIDGE Network
We are working to addressing belonging and social connection on campus. Join us in making strong connections, learning skills in community building and peer leadership, and becoming part of a network of bridge building peers just like yourself!
This program involves joining a small cohort of like-minded peers across schools and programs at CU Anschutz for 3, 1-hr weekly sessions. During these sessions, peer facilitators and trained staff discuss the loneliness epidemic and how we can do our part to address this community concern. As a group, you will build stronger sense of belonging, confidence, and certainty when it comes to starting, growing, and strengthening relationships. At the end of the 3-week session, your cohort will be enjoy a meal together at First Year Dinner or Friendsgiving! Students who attend all sessions and demonstrate strong leadership skills will be given the opportunity to become Peer Facilitators in the BRIDGE Network.
This program was adapted by the Office of Student Affairs for the CU Anschutz student population through trainings, educational resources, and support from Project Connect. To learn more, visit here.

Wellness Advocate Trainings
This training series is designed to provide faculty and staff with tools and resources to help promote student wellness and support around topics that may be challenging yet prevalent in our student population. Our goal is to bring awareness and education around each topic; to address stigma and barriers students may face when contemplating to accessing help; and to provide skills to help engage in supportive conversations with knowledge around referring to campus resources.
Completing all the workshops will provide a certificate of completion in your HR file.
These sessions will be taught multiple times throughout the year, and do not require you to go in a sequence. Pick and choose based on topics, dates and times that work for you
