Fresh Check Day

Expo-like Event Brings the Community Together To Check-In On College Students’ Mental Health

Macon, Ga — Mercer will host Fresh Check Day— a concept created by The Jordan Porco Foundation and designed to bring the whole campus community together to “check-in” on the mental health and wellness of college students. The event is free and has been organized by Mercer Wellness Committee, CAPS and Student Affairs with collaborating campus departments at Mercer, student volunteers, and representatives of The Jordan Porco Foundation.

Mercer’s Fresh Check Day will take place 10 April, from 4pm until 6pm. Cruz Plaza will be transformed into an expo-like atmosphere to bring together interactive exhibits combined with food, prizes, and giveaways. The booths feature peer-to peer messaging in a positive, community-focused setting. This year’s event will include food, and prizes. Students who attend FreshCheck Day, Diversity Day, and BearStock may enter a special prize drawing! Food will be provided by Aramark. Should it rain, the event will be held in Porter Hall.
