CEE's Faculty Wellness Space
We believe that paying attention to our holistic wellbeing is key to being able to have the energy to grow professionally. It is the CEE's mission to inspire you to grow in your teaching, so we have built a space for you to recharge a bit to help accomplish that. We recognize that self-care does not solve the multifaceted underlying issues that cause stress and imbalance in our lives. However, it can offer a reprieve from the day-to-day symptoms. Reserve a 20-minute session in our Faculty Wellness Space and get access to:
- Advanced massage chair
- Yoga and meditation station
- Biofeedback (stress-management)
- Light-therapy
- Wellness apps with noise-cancelling headphones
- Wellness books
- and more!
