The Kindness Rock Project

UO Counseling Services Student Advisory Board is conducting its second annual Kindness Rock Project for May is Mental Health Awareness Month. The purpose of this project is to cultivate connections within communities and lift others up through simple acts of kindness. A table will be set up on the ground floor of the EMU next to the O Desk each Thursday in May for students, staff, and faculty to write a kind message on a rock and keep it for themselves, leave it for a stranger, give it to a friend, or place it outdoors to brighten someone's day. While fostering positive community mental health, this project aims to add a little more kindness to our campus and the surrounding community.
