How to be kind on campus

A handy guide on some ways you can be kind on campus.

Being kind doesn't have to be a big gesture or take a lot of effort. Whether it’s being kind to our lectures or peers, the environment we learn in or ourselves, one small act can have a lasting impact.

Kindness to others:

• help a friend with coursework – plus they might help you back
• be polite and treat others with respect – manners cost nothing
• treat a friend to a tea/coffee – a low-cost option to show you care
• support someone in need – a bosie (hug) can go a long way

Environmental kindness:

• throw away rubbish – remember to recycle
• turn off devices after using them – save electricity and prevent fires
• avoid single use plastics – use your UHI Moray tote bag instead of a plastic one

Kindness to yourself:

• get some fresh air – take 5 minutes to ground yourself
• give yourself a break – you’ve earned it
• treat yourself at The Beechtree or Little Lunch Box – we recommend the Beechtree’s strawberry frappe or a Little Lunch Box tray bake
• practice gratitude – write down what you’re grateful for or tell someone
