To satisfy the environmental pillar of wellness representing one’s connection with their indoor and outdoor environments, attendees could take a Nature Walk with the club Active Minds on the Saranac River Trail.

The vocational and financial pillars represent growing professionally and managing one’s money. To help with these aspects of life, the National Association of Black Accountants held a financial literacy class called “Turning Lemons into Lemonade” in the Cardinal Lounge. Professor Emerita of Music Jo Ellen Miano also held a session for collective and expressive singing at Winkel Sculpture Court in the Myers Fine Arts Building.

The last two pillars — intellectual and social — encourage one to break out of their comfort zone and seek out new experiences while finding a community.

Many events satisfied multiple pillars at once, such as physical, emotional, intellectual and social. In Macomb Hall’s Relaford Room, the events included a modern dance class with instructor Jessica Bouharevich, improv games with Adjunct Lecturer of Theatre Laura Jean Schwartau and Art for SelfCare by Assistant Professor of Social Work Kim McCoy Coleman and students

Mckenna Brazie and Sebrina Call. At Winkel, Moryani taught Asana yoga. Psychologist and therapist Sharon Theroux visited the SUNY Plattsburgh campus to hold self-compassion and mindful eating sessions in Feinberg Library’s third-floor Reading Room. There was also a threehour self-care session for children at Sibley Hall, led by the Council for Exceptional Children.

Some sessions are avail- able on campus outside of the summit, such as the Truth, Racial Healing and Transformation Circle led by professors Michele Bonati and Bridget Haina in the H.U.B. at the ACC. of them

The selection of events follows #HealWithIt’s goal to acquaint the community with resources to help anyone with any of their mental health needs. #HealWithIt members including Moryani and Adviser Michelle Ouellette said they noticed high attendance from the surrounding Plattsburgh community.

The timing of the summit coincides with the approach of finals week, and May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Organizers have expressed the hope for Self-Care to become an annual event and for #HealWithIt to remain a permanent entity on campus, such as a club.

The new location will feature the entire Starbucks beverage menu and serve food prepared by Chartwells, which is the most the college can offer without the location being a fully franchised Starbucks store. These changes should also be implemented by fall 2024.

At the party, CAS and Chartwells displayed stands depicting demo renditions for the creative vision of the projects, which they commissioned from a design firm. They show concepts not just for Halal Shack and Campus Express, but a more open layout for the Sundowner as well, which is expected to be implemented by spring

“We call it the Shine On! bug because it literally sucks you in like it takes over your whole life,” Molly Nelligan, a current Shine On! committee member, said.

While that may be offputting for some, Nelligan enjoys the work that she does and the impact that she has on young girls’ lives. Although Shine On! is directed toward young girls, Nelligan said that they are open to making it more “gender-inclusive.”

#HealWithIt’s

2025. CAS, Chartwells and the college are working on these projects together as part of a multimillion-dollar Chartwells investment.

Sushankita Rao, a student who attended CAS and Chartwells’ reveal party and who will still be a student by the time all the changes are made, said Burghy’s Den won’t feel as empty with the adjustments. Keleher and Mihalyi said they hope the changes are exciting for incoming students as well.

“We do not expect construction to begin until next spring, but we wanted to share this exciting information with you now!” a statement from Keleher summarizing the party read as part of the May 8 Student Digest.
