Managing your stress is a difficult challenge in college, and it is even harder to do during exam time. Each student is different and may utilize different activities to help them relax. Coloring is a method of mindfulness and can be used as a relaxation tool during those times. Students will have a chance to color to take a mental break from their tests and assignments as well as participate in other mindful practices that they can take home and use.

It encompasses various disciplines such as ecological design, engineering, and environmental construction. This approach involves managing water resources, integrating sustainable architecture, and developing habitats and agricultural systems modeled on the patterns and functions of natural ecosystems. Permaculture employs creative design methods rooted in holistic thinking, carefully considering all materials, energies, and interactions involved in proposed changes. This means thoroughly evaluating both the immediate and long-term effects on ecosystems before implementing modifications, such as altering water flow patterns, vegetation management, or land-use practices. By prioritizing regeneration and resilience, permaculture fosters ecosystems that sustain both human needs and the environment. —————   The Office of Service-Learning & Civic Engagement has created a useful flyer explaining how to track your hours.
