    A focus on well-being

    In his November video message to the U-M community, President Santa J. Ono points to the value of taking time to pause, to reflect and to be grateful. “Studies show that gratitude is good for you — it can reduce depression and lessen anxiety, as well as relieve stress, improve sleep and even strengthen heart health,” he said. “In addition to pausing for gratitude, another fantastic way to stay healthy is to go outside.” Ono also honored U-M’s 2024 Olympians and Paralympians as this month’s Portrait of a Wolverine.
