The Fanshawe Student Union’s (FSU) Wellness Wishes events are back for another year!

All week long, the FSU is helping students get into the holiday spirit by giving them a chance to make a wish and possibly see it come true.

FSU Events and Activities Coordinator Camila Ariza says, “It’s an opportunity to make wishes, enjoy hot chocolate, create or get gifts, and experience the spirit of the holiday – whether you’ve celebrated it before, are far from home, or are discovering it for the first time.”

Get your photo taken with Santa, drink some hot chocolate, decorate cookies and work on other holiday crafts. Plus, each Wellness Wishes event will feature a Wish Wall, where students can write their holiday wishes.

Where and when to attend Wellness Wishes events this week:

  • Tuesday, November 25: Second Floor of LDB at Downtown Campus at 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
  • Wednesday, November 26: Third Floor Lounge at South Campus from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
  • Thursday, November 27: Forwell Hall at Main Campus from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Ariza adds, “[Wellness Wishes] awakens a childlike sense of hope in students and often extends to their families as well. Beyond that, the initiative fosters collaboration and a spirit of unity across different departments of the college, making the impact even more powerful.”

Students are encouraged to come out to our Wellness Wishes events to experience the holiday spirit and celebrate the season with the FSU. And you never know…your holiday wish might just come true.
