The University of Florida Counseling and Wellness Center is looking for this GATOR!
Our students come from all over the world, bravely traveling to a brand-new environment far from their own home. On a vast campus with over 50,000 students, it’s common for students to feel easily unnoticed, overlooked and lost in the shuffle- much like beloved Waldo. Finding Waldo in an exercise in patience, but the CWC is on a mission to connect with all students who are feeling the pressures and emotions of living college life as a Little Gator in a Big Swamp.
Our goal is a big one, and that's to ensure each student knows someone is looking out for them and their wellbeing.
So… can you help a fellow Gator find the CWC?
OCTOBER 8-12, 2024
How To Find Waldo:
Waldo is among us, almost indistinguishable at first glance unless you’re really looking hard. Keep your eyes peeled at these 12 campus locations for the elusive reptile. When you spot a Gator Waldo, snap a pic but do not take Waldo with you!
How To Win:
Once you’ve spotted and sapped a pic of Waldo, send it via Instagram by either tagging or directly messaging the ufcwc. You must tag a friend in the comments or share the Missing Gator poster to be qualified to win. You may search for as many Waldo's as you'd like, but only one Waldo will count as entry into the giveaway.
The Reward
Like any missing persons search, there is a reward. Helping a fellow Gator connect to campus resources that empower their wellbeing and success is a behavior that deserves to be rewarded. One lucky winner will be drawn from participants to win a goodie bag of wellness prizes.
