Although the days are getting shorter and temperatures are beginning to drop, wellness remains a focus for Buckeye Wellness Innovators (BWI’s) within the Office of Administration and Planning (A&P). 

Team members from Ohio State's Department of Public Safety attended the university's Be Kind Food packing event in September. Alongside other Buckeyes, volunteers packed more than 350,000 meals for delivery to locations in Adams, Brown, Franklin, Highland, Hamilton and Montgomery counties. Participants enjoyed sharing their #BuckeyeLove in this high-energy environment through these acts of kindness. Studies have shown that acts of kindness have wellness benefits for all involved.

In July, Transportation and Traffic Management (TTM) Buckeye Wellness Innovator (BWI) Christy Miller coordinated with Buckeye Paws to host a visit with TTM staff. The certified therapy dog-handler teams coordinate with departments across the university to bring therapy dogs to campus. Visits with the teams are said to help improve mood and decrease stress.

Buckeye Paws visits may be requested and scheduled by emailing BuckeyePaws@osumc.edu. Additional information is available online.
