Fresh Check Day is a fun fair-like event, featuring snacks, t-shirts, games, interactive booths and activities, prizes, and more. Overall it is a great opportunity for students to check in on their mental health and get resources to support them while at Wes. This year our grand prizes are an Amazon Fire tablet, a yoga kit and some Wes gear.
We are proud to launch the second year of the Student Ombuds program at Wesleyan, which is an initiative inspired and informed by student voices.
The Student Ombuds are available to talk with students about their concerns related to experiences in the classroom, with your athletic team, or within other parts of your academic and campus life at Wesleyan. Each Ombud serves as a resource focused on empowering students to successfully navigate the institution and advocate for themselves in moments of conflict, particularly when there are power dynamic considerations.
Here’s just a few of the ways Student Ombuds can offer support:
The Student Ombuds partner with and are supported by Dr. April Ruiz, Dean for Academic Equity, Inclusion, & Success.
