Consent & Creativity Café

The Student Wellness Center invites you to hit pause before midterms and get creative! Join us for an afternoon filled with Legos, clay sculpting, jewelry making, journal art, sticker projects, and more. As you craft, create, and connect with others, you'll also explore conversations around consent, communication, respect, and personal boundaries in a fun, low-pressure way.

Come for the crafts, leave with new insights, fresh energy, and maybe a few new friends.
