What's offered
Short guided sessions you can drop into between classes, longer skill-building series run by health-promotion staff, and occasional retreats before finals. Sessions are secular and practical — breathing, body scan, brief sitting practice — aimed at stress, attention, and winding down at night.
Using the app
Enrolled students can claim a free premium account for a major meditation app through the student portal — guided programs, sleep audio, and short focus exercises on your phone. It pairs well with the in-person workshops but works on its own if your schedule won't hold still.
In and around Porter Falls
The Porter Student Help Desk in Founders Union 118 is the single place to start when it is not obvious which office owns a question.
The practical details
Drop-in: Guided sessions several times a week in the wellness rooms — no experience needed. Workshops: Short series on mindfulness for anxiety, for focus, and for sleep, each a few weeks. App: A free premium subscription to a well-known meditation app for enrolled students. Anything time-sensitive — an accommodation, a booking, a deadline — is worth confirming directly before you rely on it, because the specifics here can change from term to term.
If you have a question
The office behind this is Porter Student Help Desk (Founders Union, Room 118). Call (715) 555–0120 or email help@uwporterfalls.edu during the fall and spring terms, or sign in to MyPorter to send a message or book a time. If it turns out another office owns the question, they will route it rather than send you back to the start.
Fictional information
UW–Porter Falls is a work of parody. Every office, person, building, phone number and statistic on this page is invented; nothing here describes a real institution or a service you can actually contact.
