Join us in the upper rec gym from 10-1 for free burritos, giveaways, fun activities, big prizes, and mental health resources.

Colorado School of Mines will host Fresh Check Day— a concept created by the Jordan Porco Foundation and designed to bring the whole campus community together to "check-in" on the mental health and wellness of college students. The event is free and has been organized by Student Wellness Promotion with collaborating campus departments, student volunteers, and representatives of the Jordan Porco Foundation.

Mines Fresh Check Day will take place Wednesday, March 11th, from 10am until 1pm. The Rec Center Upper Gym will be transformed into an expo-like atmosphere, bringing together interactive activities with giveaways and helpful resources. The booths feature peer-to-peer messaging in a positive, community-focused setting. Booths include Boost (stay physically active), Thrive (make lemonade from your lemons), It Takes a Village (paint a pot for a cute succulent), and many more. The 9 out of 10 booth encourages students to learn how to help the 1 out of 10 students who might be struggling with suicide. (Check out https://nineoutoften.org.)

Breakfast burritos will be available for the first 200 students who visit at least 5 of the themed booths. Additionally, students who leave feedback will be entered into a drawing to win Sonos Ace noise cancelling headphones, a Breville smart oven air fryer, or an Owala water bottle.
