On Oct. 8, Krieger School staff, faculty, and student employees gathered in Homewood's Glass Pavilion to participate in Put Wellness to Work, KSAS, an interactive experience to highlight wellness tools available to JHU employees and foster engagement.

To encourage attendees to keep wellness front of mind, members of the Office of Sustainability demonstrated how to make healthy cleaning products, Hopkins Dining shared nutrition tips and explored food pairs, and the Peabody Preparatory demonstrated how to Dance at Your Desk and Strum Along while at work.

Said KSAS Dean Christopher Celenza, "We are really fortunate to have events like this that continue to remind the Krieger School community about the importance of wellness and the many resources we have around us to support our well-being. This work is transforming who we are as a school, building stronger connections between colleagues and supporting our duty of care for each other."

Members of the Krieger School’s HR team and Jay the Blue Jay give the event a thumbs up.
