Morgantown Happenings - March 14, 2023

The Office of IPE has partnered with the WVU Art Therapy program to kick off IPE Week with a Prompted Art Session in the Pylons surrounding Pain. The session will occur on Monday, March 20th from 4-6pm. We are encouraging students to sign up for the event using the link below.

During this event, participants will learn about art therapy, ways to engage in art for self-care, and also create their own miniature paintings about stress and what helps restore and rejuvenate us, ultimately reigniting our sense of purpose in our work. This activity doesn’t require any previous art-making skills – everyone is welcome. Link: https://wvu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_6mtFbipkClDprOS
