Maryville University’s Office of Alumni Services is excited to share some winter activities that can be completed from the comfort of your home — and are guaranteed to beat the cold-weather blues.

Maryville Cooks
During this holiday season, many families are looking for new ways to celebrate during the pandemic — such as adding new recipes to time-honored family favorites or scheduling virtual feasts with far away family. In this spirit of community, the Alumni Services team has partnered with Fresh Ideas, Maryville’s exclusive dining partner, to launch a new series called Maryville Cooks. We hope this series will inspire the Maryville community to continue making connections during the holiday season and beyond.

Holiday Coloring
Coloring for adults and kids? Oh yes! Known to reduce stress and anxiety at the same levels as meditation, coloring can turn down the volume on a restless mind. Colored pencils, crayons, markers, highlighters, sharpies — whatever you have on hand will work.
