Thanks to all BYL members and contributors. We had a very successful semester! We successfully ran 4 cooking classes, 20 GCTY classes, and a Girls Night at the Gym event. Additionally, we talked to many students at tastings and tabling events and got a lot of feedback about what students want to know and learn about when it comes to living a healthy lifestyle.

We have many ideas for next semester and are excited to continue working with the Friedman School, Cardibo, Imaginet, Res Life, Dining Services, Athletics, and many more groups.

We will have a General Interest Meeting in late January and will post events and activities soon after. Please email balanceyourlife.tufts@gmail.com if you’d like to get involved with BYL and/or run for a position next semester.

Have a wonderful holiday and New Year!!!

Come out to the library patio tomorrow, Sunday Oct 23, for a FREE apple tasting. We’ll be tasting 5 different types of apples from Volante’s Farm in Wellesley, MA.
