UNMC takes a week to de-stress

Students enjoyed walking tacos, offered by the UNMC Department of Strategic Communications in the Sorrell Center.

Earlier this month, UNMC hosted its twice-yearly De-Stress Week. Started in 2019, De-Stress Week offers an opportunity for faculty, staff and students to take a minute and relax at a variety of events and activities before the end of the semester.

Here are some scenes from this semester’s De-Stress Week.

Thanks to everyone who helped support this year’s drive.
