A focus of the GCC Wellness Committee this year is social wellness. Social wellness includes activities that involve interaction and communication with others. Participating in events allows us to learn from and enjoy the company of others, which is beneficial to many aspects of overall wellness.
Looking for ways to be social with others at GCC? Here are some opportunities:
GCC Crafters
Share your creative side with your colleagues. Bring a craft of your choice (e.g., knitting, crocheting, paper crafting, etc.) and complete any or as much of it as you'd like during the meeting. Come whenever you can, stay as long as you are able. Coloring books and pencils/crayons are always available.
