Prioritize Yourself: Join the Make It & Take It Self-Care Event

In an increasingly fast-paced world, personal well-being and self-care have garnered significant attention as essential components of a healthy lifestyle. Recognizing the importance of mental and emotional health, the Center for Student Engagement is excited to announce a “Make It & Take It” (MITI) event designed to foster self-care among participants. This engaging event, themed around prioritizing personal wellness, is set to take place on Thursday, January 29, 2026, from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM EST.

The “Make It & Take It” event offers an immersive experience where attendees will have the opportunity to create self-care items that resonate with their personal needs and interests. Participants can look forward to a diverse array of activities, from crafting bespoke candles to engaging in various artistic projects. The event is designed to be both therapeutic and creative, allowing individuals to express themselves while also learning valuable skills related to self-care practices.

Self-care has become increasingly relevant in discussions about mental health, especially among students, who often face substantial academic and social pressures. According to recent studies, engaging in creative expression and self-care activities can significantly reduce stress and improve overall well-being. The Center for Student Engagement aims to provide a supportive environment where participants can unwind, socialize, and leave the event feeling rejuvenated—essentially, “feeling like your best self.”

Not only is this event a great avenue for personal growth, but it also emphasizes the significance of community and connection. Attendees will have the chance to bond with peers, share experiences, and collectively navigate the challenges of student life. The MITI event embodies a holistic approach to well-being, encouraging participants to integrate self-care into their daily routines.

While the specific location of the event will be detailed in subsequent announcements, interested participants are encouraged to mark their calendars and prepare for a fulfilling and enriching experience.

In summary, the “Make It & Take It” self-care event promises to be a transformative experience, providing participants with essential tools and insights into managing their well-being. As we continually recognize the importance of placing oneself first in a busy world, this event stands as a reminder that nurturing one’s mental health is paramount. For those looking to enhance their self-care regimen, this event is undeniably not to be missed.
