President Reginald and Paula DesRoches and the university's leadership team are partnering with the Gibbs Recreation and Wellness Center to bring Wellness Wednesdays to campus. This initiative is dedicated to employee well-being and focuses on a comprehensive approach to health and wellness, featuring many opportunities for employees to participate with university leaders in different ways. Throughout the academic year, sessions are held once a month across campus. The next session is scheduled for Wednesday, July 23, 2025. We will not have a Wellness Wednesday in June.
July Wellness Wednesday
Join us for our first-ever virtual Wellness Wednesday: Desk Flow! Join Dr. Anatolia Vick and the rest of the Rice Employee Health and Well-Being team for a refreshing 30-minute movement session you can do right at your desk or in any small space. Designed for all fitness levels, Desk Flow blends a gentle warm-up, full-body activation and a calming cooldown to help you reset, recharge and re-center. Whether seated or standing, move with intention and feel your best. No equipment, no stress, just flow.
