SUMMARY:Hiking at Jockey Hollow
DESCRIPTION:Enjoy this easy 6.5-mile trail along gurgling streams and rolling hills in the beautiful Morristown National Historical Park.

This encampment led to the largest mutiny during the American Revolutionary War. Some of the original huts built by this army have been restored and remain along the trail. \nPlease meet at the Cook Rec Center- Base Camp at 8:30 AM \nCost: $20 \nRegistration required.

SUMMARY:Mental Health and Wellness Week Book Swap
DESCRIPTION:Take a pause during Mental Health & Wellness Week and connect with colleagues through the joy of reading. The ScarletWell Book Swap\, hosted in partnership with Student Basic Needs\, invites Rutgers staff and faculty to bring three books they have enjoyed and exchange them with others. \nParticipants are encouraged to bring up to three gently used books to share with fellow readers. In return\, you can browse the swap table and select up to three books to take home and enjoy. This relaxed\, drop-in gathering celebrates intellectual wellness\, community\, and connection. It is a chance to discover new authors\, revisit forgotten favorites\, and engage in informal conversations about books with colleagues from across the Rutgers community. \nTo add a personal touch\, we invite participants to tuck a short note inside each book they bring\, sharing why they recommend it or what made it meaningful to them. These small notes often become part of the story the next reader experiences. \nSpace is limited so please register.
