The Center for Student Wellness is back with Season 2 of Rooted! Tucker, Kayla, and Franny, the Center's three graduate assistants, sit down together to talk about the new season and its focus on Community! We name and define the four key messages that the Center for Student Wellness uses to talk about 'Community' with students, and discuss what this shift means to them, what communities are important for their wellbeing, and, finally, how they hope the four key messages influence their work in the Center this year. This season's music was written and produced by Nanayaw Appiah-Kubi AKA Nana AK, a Boston College alum! Nana has been making music since his time at BC, and makes up one-half of the music duo, ZeNith, with Zach Patterson, who is also an alum of BC. Together, they work as vocalists, producers, and mixing engineers, and can be found on all major platforms. Check them out HERE!
