"Balancing classes, jobs, and social and family obligations fills our calendars in no time. But, just as prioritizing rest is crucial, so is making time for exercise," says , the director of ÂÒÂ×ȺP's Nina B. Hollis Wellness Center.

"The Wellness Center plays an important role in enriching the college experience," she explains. "Not only is regular exercise a great way to destress and boost your mood, but it also offers students essential cognitive advantages that can significantly impact their academic pursuits, such as improved focus, increased energy, and sharper memory!"
