In response to heightened anxiety during and after the presidential election, Boston University created resources designed to support students struggling with mental health by focusing on relaxation tactics.
The Happy Terrier Walks program returned from its winter hiatus on March 29, making it easier for students to get outside and meet new people. The hour-long walks, which begin and end at Marsh Plaza, encourage students to socialize with their peers in nature, according to the BU Student Wellbeing website. The program, run by BU Student Wellbeing, restarted this semester in collaboration with BU Sustainability’s Earth Day 365 program, a month-long series of events leading up to Earth Day.
