UVAToday published a story about the Student Happiness Retreat, a collaboration between UVA’s Department of Student Health and Wellness and the Contemplative Sciences Center. Facilitated by Kelly Crace, executive director of the Contemplative Sciences Center, and Katie Smith, from the Virginia Mental Health Access Program, the three-part series aims to move students away from the “fleeting emotion of happiness” and toward long-term fulfillment and joy.
