Embrace. Explore. Do.
Embrace. Explore. Do.
Last year, we asked our residents to Embrace the Unexpected. This year, we’re taking things a couple of steps further: Embrace. Explore. Do.
We know from the research which kicked off our previous campaign that loneliness is an issue amongst students – it’s often felt, but not always talked about. What we didn’t see coming was a global pandemic which would limit everyone’s opportunities to connect with each other further, meaning that even those who wouldn’t have identified as lonely could do with a bit of support.
So, Embrace. Explore. Do. is for everyone. There’s plenty you can embrace, many activities to explore and lots of things you can do which will benefit you and others – it’s all about the wellbeing of our iQ community.
Look out for news of the latest Embrace. Explore. Do. initiatives so you can get involved.
