THE DE LA SALLE Medical and Health Sciences Institute in Dasmariñas City has allowed all of its departments and colleges to have a one-day wellness break.

“This is to inform all colleges and departments that there shall be a one-day Wellness Break to be observed by all colleges and departments for the first and second semester,” the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Academics said in a letter.

The university said the break will be scheduled by the departments and colleges.

Synchronous and asynchronous sessions will stop during the break.

The university added that students’ learning assessment and learning outputs will have to be re-scheduled.

The wellness break will also give faculty members the opportunity to fully detach from any school-related functions including meetings and student consultation.
