The Graduate School and Graduate and Professional Student Government are pleased to invite all graduate and professional students to the 2026 Spring Wellness Festival – a well-being event exclusively designed for graduate and professional students. Join us at the Carolina Student Union on Monday, April 6, 2026 from 11:00 AM-1:00 PM for a day of relaxation, rejuvenation, and community.

*Please use this form to register for the Wellness Festival and/or to reserve your spot for a free chair massage. Selecting the "General Event Registration" without selecting a chair massage slot will not reserve a massage spot. 

This event will feature 7+ unique well-being experiences tailored to the needs of graduate and professional students, including:

• Free lunch and cookies
• Resource fair with campus and community organizations who aim to support students
• Free chair massages by licensed massage therapists
• Therapy dogs to help you de-stress
• Creative activities so you can relax and let your imagination flow
• A collaborative community art project

Registration is required for a free chair massage; please register for just one chair massage slot. Each massage session will last 10 minutes, and there will be thirteen (13) massage therapists on site over the course of the two-hour event. As such, each session has 13 possible slots. Once those slots fill, a waitlist option will be available. The waitlist will be capped at 5 for each session. If you register for more than one slot, your registrations will be deleted.
