      Connecting with nature has been proven to deliver positive mental health benefits. To capitalize on these benefits, and to remind people that taking nature breaks during times of stress can be an important mental health strategy,  On October 10th, World Mental Health Day, we scheduled a for a relaxing and restorative walk along the KSU Walking Trail at 390 Big Shanty Road (The Perch).

        UnCANny Creations, November 4th, 2024

        The UnCANNy Creations food kicked off as part of the 365 Days of Learning & Service initiative. The stress of food insecurity can have a significant impact on a person’s mental health. We are motivated to collect as much food as we can to help alleviate food insecurity for our students and, in the process, put minds at ease regarding where the next meal is coming from. Now in its third year, the drive culminates in teams building sculptures with the collected items in the UnCANny Creations Sculpture competition.

            Collection bins will be at every department office until February 21! This annual drive is not only about giving back; it is a means to focus attention on how we build more sustainable communities, with the hope of making drives such as this less necessary in the future. As part of our commitment to learning and service, we continue to support the United Way of Greater Atlanta and community members in need.

            Last year's Toiletry Drive assembled 68 drawstring bags filled with assorted toiletries, each containing 10 essential items. Additionally, we collected eight bags packed with a whopping 60 miscellaneous items in each bag. That's a grand total of approximately 1300 items generously donated by Radow College!
