Blue Week is back this 9-13th of September!

Every year, UQMind creates 5 different events, one for each weekday, with the purpose of helping you destress from uni work, connect with their peers, and discuss mental health. They are all free and with such a wide variety of activities, there’s something for everyone.

Check out this year’s 5 exciting events all held at different spots around the UQ St Lucia campus!
