  • 3/15 Fresh Check Week- Stomp Out The Stigma Walk

    Stomp Out The Stigma Walk
    Monday, March 15th, 2021
    1 PM - 2 PM

    As part of Fresh Check Week, you are invited to walk two miles in order to STOMP out the Stigma that can be associated with mental illness and suicide. We will walk in solidarity to raise awareness about the importance about talking about and caring for college student mental health.
    The two mile on-campus loop will include a walk with UCPD’s Sgt. Cheney and Tildy! If you haven’t met Tildy yet, come meet another lovable UConn pup. Registration is required for the in-person walk. A virtual option is also available. Meet for the Walk between the School of Business and the Rec Center.
    Please understand that masks are required throughout the entire event and adhering to all COVID protocols is still in place. Dairy Bar gift cards will be given to registrants who complete the walk.
