TODAY'S SCENARIO
The youth, in their search for 'stress-coping mechanisms' engage in behaviors that tend to be counter-productive to their intentions. Instead of helping them relive the stress, their actions to cope with stress often tends to aggravate it. While the university is committed in its mission of encouraging a healthy student community and offers resources to achieve that end, there is scope for much more.
WHAT CAN WE DO AS A STUDENT ORGANIZATION?
This is where 'yesplus at ASU' comes in!
We are proud to present before you a vision that will not only provide immediate respite to innumerable students but also set the ball rolling for promoting a culture of holistic wellness here at Appalachian State University! You - as leaders of your organization can become a pioneer of this vision and help ASU move closer to becoming a healthy campus!
WHAT IS THE YESPLUS WORKSHOP?
GOOD QUESTION! WE GET IT A LOT. YESplus provides us with tools to manage our stress and energy levels, leading us to a more happy, fulfilled, and meaningful life.
This workshop is currently OFFERED FOR CREDIT at STANFORD UNIVERSITY!

WHAT ARE THE FEES?
Typically, every participant pays $250 for this 20-24 hour workshop spread over 5 days. But, we are excited to share with you that this course could be made available to students at 80% off the original cost, at only $50!
Having worked out a flat-fee model with the organizers, this is how it looks:
$3500 for an unlimited number of workshop participants!
THE PLAN
After crunching the numbers, we realize that if just 35 student organizations commit to paying $100 each, then we could easily reach the flat-fee model target of $3500! That would then open the floodgates for all the students of ASU (yes, all of the more than 15000+ students) to avail the 80% discount on the workshop fees!
And wouldn't it be wonderful! We would all have contributed to promoting holistic wellness on campus at affordable costs and also provided GREAT VALUE FOR EVERYONE'S MONEY!
