Take a break with RECESS

Play can create a positive state of mind and pleasant emotions, which can foster great things like creativity, innovation, mental flexibility, empathy, social connections, a sense of belonging, stress relief and resilience. 

Student Life’s Counseling and Consultation Service is delighted to showcase the benefits of mindful play with RECESS 2026. 

Take time away and explore your play style. Activities include art activities, snacks, therapy dogs, Brutus the Buckeye, games and more!

The event will be held on Tuesday, October 6, from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. on the South Oval.
