What do these numbers really mean? ๐ŸŒฟ

Behind every stat is a student finding connection, confidence, and community outside.

From first-time outdoor experiences to new friendships and improved mental health, the impact extends far beyond the numbers. Thank you to all our ambassadors, faculty advisors, allies, partners, team members, and funders who made it possible.

Vibes were high last week at Spelman Title IXโ€™s De-Stress Fest ๐Ÿ”ฅโœจBetween finals, students took a well-deserved breather, opting outside by the fire, roasting sโ€™mores, and reconnecting with friends.

โ€œI never imagined Iโ€™d be roasting sโ€™mores on campusโ€ฆthis was amazing.โ€ โ€” Student participant

Moments like these remind us that the possibilities to enrich student life through outdoor experiences are endless. Hereโ€™s your sign to with your community.

Huge thank you to and for helping to sponsor this event!

โœจOr after the soulful yoga session with we turned the yard into a game zone, playing UNO beyond the event end time. ๐ŸŽ‰

โœจAndโ€ฆ during the lead hike at Percy Warner Park, we discovered the regions special rocks, wild berries,and some even got brave enough to hold๐ŸฆŽ salamanders! (the salamanders and students all survived ๐Ÿ˜‚)

Canโ€™t wait to do it again, TSU! ๐ŸŒฒBig shoutout to for the epic swag!
