Upcoming Well-being Events

We want you to be well and thrive in the Faculty of Engineering.FoE Community Well-being offers a variety of in-person and synchronous virtual sessions to support our community. For those who prefer asynchronous resources, we also have information on well-being related websites, research, and on-demand or self-directed sessions. Topics are timely and chosen in response to staff & faculty needs and requests.
