This week’s virtual happenings: Connect with your fellow Badgers (September 9-16)

If the pandemic has taught us anything, it’s how to adapt to new circumstances. With UW-Madison limiting in-person interaction for students, there’s still plenty to do virtually.

Here’s a list of this week’s activities that you can join online:

  • 9 and 11: Live Guided Meditations — Join @uwrecwellfor a moment to pause and just breathe with a live-guided meditation. Whether this will be your first time meditating or it’s part of your daily routine, all levels are welcome. Sept. 9 at 7 p.m. and Sept. 11 at noon
  • 9-10: Student Organization FairSept. 9 & Sept. 10 – Explore UW’s registered student organizations (RSOs) and connect with student representatives in a virtual meeting room to learn about their missions, membership, and activities.
