It’s another busy week in Champaign-Urbana! There is a lot to do, so let’s jump right in to all that’s going on this week in town.

Times have been tough lately, so now more than ever it’s important to take care of yourself. Interdisciplinary Health Sciences Institute and University of Illinois Extension have created a webinar series to teach self-care techniques. Tuesday’s topic is about making your habits stick. Habits are key to living the life you want and taking control of your day. “Learn what the science says regarding scaling adherence to your current level of preparation, and how to apply it to common frustrating areas: diet and exercise.” The session is offered from noon to 1 p.m. online. It is free to join, but you should register beforehand. Learn more about the series by clicking on this link!
