Connecting to Nature

Studies have found that something as simple as taking a walk outside can boost your overall mood. In fact, all nature-based activities have the capability of boosting mental health. The university offers a variety of opportunities to support increasing mental health through nature. Geographically, lower campus overlaps with Putnam Park, a 230-acre park with numerous places to walk, bike or relax. Campus also features hammock hangers on both upper and lower campus. You can check out hammocks for free at the EAC (below). In addition to trails, campus shares borders with a creek and river, offering plenty of spaces to enjoy the sound of running water. Our Environmental Adventure Center (EAC) offers guided opportunities to experience adventure in great outdoors! Check out what the EAC has to offer below!
