STUDENT SCAVENGER HUNT

Ready to take on a campus challenge? Track down the fish footman on campus, and you could score an NYMC t-shirt.


Where minds can rest and worries slow,

And students go when feelings grow,

There’s a place where help is always near,

For calm support when stress is here.


Not lecture halls or labs you roam,

But somewhere that can feel like home.

Where listening ears and steady care

Help lighten burdens people bear.


When things feel heavy, thoughts feel loud,

Or life feels lost within the crowd—

Seek out the door where calm is planned,

With guidance offered, kind and hand,

In a building high where views feel bright,

A skyline stop to set things right.


A place for balance, health, and light,

For wellness when things aren’t quite right.

Once the Footman is found and the riddle is cracked,

Your journey is set—there’s no turning back.

Bring it to the Office of Public Relations to prove it’s true,

Claim your shirt—your victory is due!


Note: You can win only once, and only one winner per find. 

 

To claim your prize, email the Office of Public Relations.
