Stall Talks
Stall Talks brings helpful health and well-being information to an unexpected place: campus restrooms! Through quick tips, campus resources, and timely topics, Stall Talks makes it easy for Monarchs to discover practical ways to support their well-being, stay connected, and explore opportunities across ODU.
Have an idea worth sharing? Whether you're a student, faculty or staff member, student organization, or campus partner, we welcome your suggestions for topics, resources, and upcoming events. You don't need to represent a group to contribute!
Meet the Three Stall Talks Editions
Stall Talks offers three editions designed to share helpful information with our campus community. Here's what you'll find in each one!
Big Blue's Bio Break
For students | Updated twice a month
Quick well-being tips, fun facts, practical ideas, and campus resources to support student life.
The Royal Flush
For faculty, staff, and the broader ODU community | Updated monthly
Seasonal well-being topics, everyday tips, and helpful resources to support life and work at ODU.
Monarch Monthly
For students, faculty, and staff | Updated monthly
Upcoming campus events, programs, and opportunities to connect, participate, and support your well-being.
Stall Talks is currently being piloted at the Student Recreation and Well-Being Center and Webb University Center. Our Monarch Well-Being Ambassadors work alongside the Student Health and Well-Being Coalition and campus partners to help shape each edition. Together, they explore ideas, review submissions, and identify timely topics and resources that support our campus community.
