April 12, 2021, marked the first annual Wellness Day at Duke. The day was one of celebration and reflection--acknowledging all students have managed over this past unprecedented year, while also recognizing the need for a moment to pause and reflect as they prepare to head into the last weeks of the semester and finals. It was wonderful to see the Duke community out and about on campus enjoying the day and participating in fun, relaxing activities. The day provided a sense of ‘normalcy’ and was a breath of fresh air in an otherwise non-traditional year. As part of the planning committee, it was a pleasure working with our on-campus partners who came up with amazing activities to offer to the Duke community.
This week we visit Suriname, a country on the northern coast of South America.
Geography
