De-Stress Week Will Run April 10-15

Everyone De-Stress! April 10 – 15

With the stress of classes, work, family responsibilities, and exams, we all need to DE-STRESS. NEOMED students & employees are invited to join us for a Campus De-Stress Fest.

Sponsored by the Center for Student Wellness and Counseling, Student Services, Sequoia, Human Resources and NSC!
