While moderate stress could motivate our studies and work, too much pressure could be overwhelming mentally and physically. At UIC, many events, courses and support are provided to help students achieve a balanced life.
Be more aware of what’s going on
Students can learn to deal with stress, anxiety, and other mental problems through health lectures given by experts.
Previous health lectures covered topics about sleep and pressure
Release stress in sports
The PE courses offered at UIC cover ball games, swimming, aerobics, yoga, Chinese Health Qigong, etc., and are open for free course selection each semester. Teachers encourage students to integrate sports into life after class rather than teaching them the basic skills of the sport.
Improve resilience in the Whole Person Education
The emotional Intelligence (EI) Course and Adversity Management (AM) Course also help students understand their emotions and improve their ability to cope with adversity.
In the EI course, students can learn strategies to build healthy habits and cultivate self-awareness and empathy through meditation, interpersonal management, etc.
Students learn to cooperate in the EI course
In the AM course, students enhance their abilities in collaborative tasks as well as work independently. They adapt to unfamiliar situations and conquer psychological obstacles during the three-day outdoor camp.
In one task of the AM course, students have to make rafts and compete against other teams
You can always speak out
