The healthy selfie of February 2026 is Dr. Joan Simon! Dr.Simon and her friend showed off their medals from the Big Dam Bridge bike ride, where they rode 50 miles.

“It was an amazing event with hundreds of participants, so it was the perfect way to connect with friends, support the community event, and rack up some miles.”

Way to go!

✨ **Random Acts of Kindness Day – February 17** ✨

Kindness isn’t just “nice” — it’s good for your health, too. Small acts of kindness can boost mood, reduce stress, and help create a more positive workplace for everyone.

Today, challenge yourself to do at least *one* random act of kindness:
💛 Leave an encouraging note for a coworker
☕ Bring someone a coffee or snack
👏 Give genuine recognition for a job well done
📧 Send a quick “thank you” email
😊 Simply smile and say hello

You never know what someone else is going through — your small act could make a big difference. Let’s spread kindness across campus today!

Happy National Pizza Day! 🍕 Pizza can absolutely fit into a healthy lifestyle — it’s all about how you build it. Try giving your slice a nutritious upgrade with a few simple swaps:

Pile on the veggies: Bell peppers, spinach, mushrooms, onions, tomatoes, and broccoli add fiber, vitamins, and flavor.
Choose lean protein: Grilled chicken or turkey sausage instead of higher-fat meats like pepperoni or sausage.
Go light on cheese: You’ll still get the taste with less saturated fat.
Try a whole wheat crust: More fiber to help keep you full longer.
Add fruit for fun: Pineapple or even arugula with pear can add a fresh twist!

Healthy eating doesn’t mean giving up your favorites — just building them smarter. What’s your go-to pizza topping?
