ASDA Invests in Students with Wellness Week

The DCG chapter of the American Student Dental Association (ASDA) Wellness Week, rescheduled in the wake of Hurricane Helene, concluded on Oct. 18 with a series of impactful events. Each event was designed to promote student well-being and foster a sense of community.

The week kicked off with a volunteer event at the Ronald McDonald House, where students supported families facing difficult times. This act of service provided a meaningful opportunity to give back to the community and uplift those in need.

Tuesday brought a sweet treat, courtesy of Crumbl Cookies, which offered a fun and much-needed break from the stresses of academic life. Wednesday’s River Cleanup, organized in partnership with the DCG Environmental Club, inspired students to take action for the planet and contribute to a cleaner environment.

To promote physical and mental health, ASDA offered free fitness classes at Oxygen, including barre, spin and Oxyblast. These classes provided a chance for students to recharge, de-stress  and connect with fellow students.

On Thursday, a floral arranging workshop offered a creative and calming outlet, allowing students to practice mindfulness and express themselves artistically.

The week culminated on Friday with the popular Rooted Coffee Cart, where students enjoyed complimentary coffee and a warm, inviting atmosphere.

Georgia ASDA’s Wellness Week was a resounding success, demonstrating the power of community, mindfulness and balance. By prioritizing student well-being, the organization has inspired students to get more involved and create a positive impact on their campus and community
