The Office of Administration and Planning (A&P) Buckeye Wellness Innovator team continues to highlight one of the ten dimensions of wellness as previously shared on the dimensions of wellness calendar.

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.

Thanks to UniPrint Buckeye Wellness Innovator Bryan Shields and The James Mobile Education Kitchen for hosting an on-site healthy food demo for the UniPrint team.

Buckeyes from across Ohio State's Columbus campus were invited to join the Facilities Operations and Development (FOD) Landscape Services team during a campus clean-up event in May. Volunteers met at Meiling Hall and were encouraged to walk, jog or run while picking up litter, otherwise known as "plogging." The event provided an opportunity for participants to share your #BuckeyeLove for the environment as part of environmental wellness, while enjoying the benefits of physical activity and spending time outdoors.
