COLUMBUS, Miss. – The Center for Education Support (CES) at Mississippi University for Women is hosting its Wellness Wednesday series this semester, giving education majors (or anyone who stops by) a consistent space to pause, connect, and recharge. The events are held on the second Wednesday of each month at 10:30 a.m., with students encouraged to wear blue for W Wednesday.

This fall’s lineup:

• Aug 20 – “First Day of Class” Coffee/Water Bar and Photo Props (completed)
