September Wellness & Community Challenge!
Now that you all have started to settle into Duke, I have one challenge for you... Ask someone you don't know to have lunch with you. A large part of being well in college is finding people that make you feel like you belong and are connected to Duke! As you all start forming friend groups you may think EVERYONE has all these friends and plans. But I can tell you from my experience that a lot of folks are still searching for their group. Put yourself out there and ask someone to lunch in the next two weeks, you never know if that person will be your new best friend! If you complete this challenge send me an email and let me know how it goes! Extra Kuddos if you get a selfie at your lunch!
Thank you for making it to the end of my email! Please enjoy this silly photo of me in a plant shop in Charlotte over Labor Day weekend! Because you made it to the end here is a fun opportunity! Email me back what you did over the long weekend, and I will give you a limited edition Devil Duck! First 10 people to respond will get one!
