Weekly Meditation Group time change to
3:30-4:30pm (from 12-1pm) on Fridays in SU 228. Students told us that

hope more students can join us at the new time. This drop-in group
teaches the fundamentals of mindfulness and meditation, and provides students
with a variety of meditation techniques. Meditation props provided.
No experience necessary.
