On Wednesday October 21, the UQ Alumni team hosted a ‘Stress Relief’ student engagement event at the St Lucia campus.

The three-hour program kicked off with live music entertainment, lucky draw prizes, and free goodies.  Students were treated to a multitude of stress-relief displays and activities ranging from relaxing in a stress-free lounge to attending stress relief workshops.  The stress education booths proved a hit with students, where UQ staff and students provided handy tips on stretching and relaxation, seating posture, UQ clinic information, blood pressure and basic health risk assessments – which provided a unique but educational experience.

Students had the opportunity to participate in interactive outdoor sessions such as pilates and stretching/relaxation demonstrations.

The ‘Stress Relief’’ event is an initiative of the UQ Student Alumni Program.
