The University of Iowa wants YOU to take the 5-for-5 Connection Challenge!
Social connection plays a critical role in our personal and community well-being. Strong personal relationships can have a big impact on our physical, emotional, and mental health.
U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy created the 5-for-5 Connection Challenge in response to a growing problem of loneliness and social isolation among college-age students. Completing the challenge is a way to build and strengthen your relationships and inspire others to incorporate connection into their daily lives.
