Holistic Hawks hosts series of #StressBusters to mark the end of spring 2025
With the spring 2025 semester coming to an end, SUNY New Paltz’s Holistic Hawks committee is offering multiple Stressbuster events from May 5-15 to guide New Paltz students through Finals Week and the transition to summer.
The campus community is also invited for an evening of competitive release with the annual Kickball Tournament, Tuesday, May 6 at 5 p.m. Click here to sign up as a team or by yourself!
Here are some of the highlights of the spring 2025 #StressBusters events:
You know it, you love it. One of the first #StressBusters is the return of Finals Fuel in the Sojourner Truth Library Lobby on May 6. Stop by for some energizing snacks and words of encouragement, courtesy of the Office of Alumni Relations.
The Psychological Counseling Center offers support with Let’s Talk on May 7 and May 14.
Commemorate your time as a Hawk with a Creative Collage. On May 7 at 1 p.m., students are welcome to visit the Student Union Building to make their own keepsake celebrating their time as a student. All materials and collage ideas will be provided, as will some yummy refreshments!
Enjoy dancing? There are two opportunities this semester to get up on the dance floor before finals. Have a dance party in the Health & Counseling Center Parking Lot with Dance for your Health on May 9. Music will be provided by the Center for Student Media. There will be more dancing in the Athletic & Wellness Center May 15 with Baila Con Mandy, a dance class taught by the Assistant Director for Student Wellbeing.
Take a Study Break in the Library on May 12 by making buttons and enjoying free snacks and a sandwich from 2-4 p.m.
There’s only one place on campus where you can find games, music, stickers and fidgets all at once to unwind. Come by the Student Union Building on May 12 for Jenga Jams, a unique de-stress extravaganza.
That’s just a small sample of everything there is to offer. Other #StressBusters events include trivia & treats, a drum circle and many more.
