Last week, our team had the honor of gathering with more than 100 colleagues at the Higher Education Employee Well‑Being (HEEW) Symposium in Alexandria. Between the breakout sessions, round‑table conversations, meaningful connections, and gorgeous view - we had an incredible day!

Thank you to everyone who attended, sponsored, served on the planning committee, catered, and contributed to making this event possible.

Employees from a range of departments came together for our July Brain Break! We explored watercolor techniques, connected through (optional) discussion prompts, and wrapped up with some fine‑line doodling.

Virginia Tech Pawrents (AKA: Pet Parents) are invited to connect with other pawrents on July 18th at the Huckleberry Dog Park. We will be there 9-10am and have a special Hokie Wellness pop-up dog bowl for anyone that attends AND pre-registers.

Join us next Wednesday, June 24th (4-5pm) for a walk to the Farmer's Market! We'll explore what foods are considered "in season" currently, ways to incorporate them into your meals, and enjoy the range of vendors available.

So many smiles and milestones moments took place at the June parent meet‑up this morning! From the bike course with WeeWheel Roanoke to the creative crafting stations, hands‑on bike maintenance workshops, VTPD support, and delicious snacks, this morning was a great start to the weekend. ☀️
