The 5-for-5 Connection Challenge!

In December the U. S. Surgeon General, Dr. Vivek Murthy launched the national connection challenge in response to a growing problem of lonelliness and social isolation amongst college students. Through the 5 for 5 Connection Challenge, you will take simple but powerful actions to build and strengthen your own relationships and inspire others to incorporate connection as a daily part of their lives. As part of the 2024 Week of Wellness, UM-Flint challenges YOU to take the 5-for-5 Connection Challenge!

Should you accept the challenge, follow these steps:
1. Commit to Connect: Use 5 days during the Week of Wellness to connect with people in your life.
2. Take the challenge: Take a small action each day for 5 days to express gratitude, offer support, or ask for help.
3. Reflect and share: Share your reflections on the actions you took and how they made you feel.
4. Submit your actions and reflections to earn a UM-Flint Mini Waterproof Outdoor Bluetooth Speaker
*Students on campus can pick up a 5 for 5 Connection Challenge card from any event during the Week of Wellness and submit completed challenge cards to the CAPS/DASS office in UCEN 264 on February 19 - February 21 to receive a UM-Flint speaker.
