CUZ Wellness Day: Prioritizing Health and Well-Being for Students, Alumni, and Staff
On Thursday, 17 October 2024, the Catholic University of Zimbabwe (CUZ) will host a Wellness Day, an initiative dedicated to promoting the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of students, alumni, and staff. The event will take place at the CUZ campus, starting with registration at 7:30 AM, followed by a Zumba session at 8:00 AM to kick-start the day’s activities.
The Wellness Day is not just about physical fitness but also about embracing a holistic approach to health. It is an opportunity for the CUZ community to come together, engage in healthy activities, and learn more about how to maintain overall wellness in today’s fast-paced world. As we navigate our academic and professional lives, it is essential to focus on personal health and well-being.
Why Wellness is Important
Wellness encompasses more than just the absence of illness—it is about achieving a balanced state of body, mind, and spirit. In the academic environment, students and staff often experience stress due to workloads, exams, and other pressures. Wellness activities, such as those featured during CUZ Wellness Day, help alleviate this stress, improve focus, and boost productivity.
Physical activities like Zumba, soccer, and volleyball foster community spirit and team-building, while wellness talks provide valuable insights into mental health, stress management, and healthy lifestyle choices. This event will offer opportunities to connect with peers and engage in wellness strategies that can be carried into everyday life.
What to Expect
Participants can look forward to a variety of activities that cater to different interests, from fun games like Fish-Fish to competitive sports like soccer, volleyball, and pool. Wellness and health talks will cover a range of topics relevant to the university community, ensuring that there is something for everyone.
Students who wish to participate can register via the Assistant Registrar of Student Affairs, while staff members are encouraged to register with the HR department. We are excited to offer this opportunity to the CUZ family and look forward to spending a day dedicated to wellness and self-care.
At CUZ, we believe that taking care of our health is not only a personal responsibility but a collective effort that enhances our ability to achieve our goals, both academically and professionally.
