UPCOMING EVENTS

February 16-17: Intern Matching Workshop

GREEN TIP OF THE WEEK

Tip: Use refillable pens. Pen refills cost as little as $1 each, priced almost the same as disposable ones. Pens are often tossed into the garbage and not recycled or reused. Their components and packaging are made from nonrenewable resources and can contain environmentally damaging chemicals.

WELLNESS TIP OF THE WEEK

Tip: Bundle up and get outside! Think layers and hustle! You’ll be amazed how quickly your body heats up when you’re dressed appropriately and moving at a good pace. Plus, your body burns more calories in the winter than summer, so get outdoors and get moving!
