Nancy Regan, health assistant in the MWCC Nurse’s office, enjoys interactions with students and focusing on mental health. She said for her, health is beyond a passion. She emphasized that health is not only concerning the physical body; mental health and nutrition affect people just as much as illness or injury.

Starting last fall, every Wednesday students meet at the roundabout outside the cafe to go on a half hour walk for “Walking Wednesdays.” Both faculty and students are welcome. Regan said the meeting time is at 12:30 p.m. so that students may take a break from studying to get some fresh air. read more

The hiking club boasts a variety of outdoor activities including indoor rock climbing, kayaking, and cross-country skiing.

“Being outdoors is an excellent way of getting energy from the sun,” said Nancy Regan, the founder and adviser of the club. “Going hiking allows the mind to take a break from all real-world problems and be able to focus better.”

Members of the four year-old club do more than just blaze mountain trails; they also tackle indoor rock climbing, snow tubing, and kayaking. On June 7, the club will camp at Lafayette Place Campground in Franconia, NH. During a kayaking trip, students reached a beaver dam where they had to get out of their kayaks and move them over the dam in order to get across. “Six students attended this trip and three of them had a nice soak in the shallow river water,” said Regan. read more
