Explore how caffeine affects the body, brain, academic performance and mental health, especially for college students. The Spilling the Beans presentation will reveal how much is too much, the hidden sugar in popular drinks and the real risks of mixing caffeine with alcohol. Participants will leave with practical tips on how to use caffeine wisely, stay energized safely and build healthier habits for long-term success.

Drive the Dialogue offers students an opportunity take part in brief, meaningful discussions that help break the stigmas around mental health. University Health Services representatives will be driving a golf cart around Central Campus. Students just have to hop on to take part in the discussions. For those who don't want to ride in the golf cart, we'll also have a table set up in Rudder Plaza for continued conversation.

University Health Services is partnering with Aggies Meditate to provide students an opportunity to express their creativity in a calm space. Meditation & Doodling gives participants a chance to pause, connect with other Aggies and explore connecting with themselves. No experience in meditation or art are needed. Registration is required.

Part comedy set, part life-saving education, this event offers hope, resources and real talk for Aggies who want to take care of themselves and each other. In 2004, Joshua Rivedal moved from New Jersey to New York City at the age of 20 to tackle the world of fame, fortune and the Broadway stage. Eight years later and through a series of remarkable life events, Joshua reinvented himself as a mission-driven international public speaker/educator, author, playwright, standup comic, freelance book editor and ghostwriter, curriculum developer, and educator. As a public speaker and educator, his primary focus is on suicide prevention and mental health; speeches and seminars on his experiences as a survivor of suicide loss, youth suicide prevention, workplace mental health and cultivating resilience—often (but not always) paired with standup comedy. Through his partnership with Skookum Hill, a publishing, consultancy, and production firm he creates content that inspires, educates, entertains, and transforms. As founder and creative director of The i'Mpossible Project, he provides advocacy, entertainment, seminars and peer-to-peer education on suicide prevention, mental health and storytelling.

Ever wish you had a guide at the grocery store? Now you do. University Health Services Grocery Store Tours are back, and this month's theme is "Snack Smarter." These in-store tours are led by a campus health educator and are designed to help students learn how to choose affordable, energizing snacks that support both body and brain. Each tour includes a guided walk-through of key grocery sections including produce, grains, dairy and snacks. Students will receive tips on reading nutrition labels, spotting nutrient-dense options and shopping on a student budget. After the tour, participants will complete a fun scavenger hunt through the store and wrap up with a 20–30-minute cooking demonstration and sampling session provided by H-E-B Cooking Connections. Space is limited! Students are responsible for their own transportation and should plan to arrive 15 minutes early. The tour starts at the front entrance by the produce section. The tour is free to attend. However, if you register and fail to attend without notifying uhsprevpop@tamu.edu (mailto:uhsprevpop@tamu.edu) at least 24 hours in advance, a $25 no-show fee will be charged to your student account.
