The staff at the University of Maine at Presque Isle’s health and wellness facility are kicking off the academic year with a Wellness Week, to be held from Monday, Sept. 10 to Thursday, Sept. 13, and campus and community members of all ages are invited to take part in fun and free activities focused on healthy living.
The week’s activities are being led by Keli Marston, UMPI’s Fitness and Wellness Coordinator at Gentile Hall, and are focused on fresh starts and well-being.
