Happy second day of Fall ya'll! Dust-off your fall sweaters and get ready to embrace a warm beverage. It doesn't have to be a PSL (although, no judgment if you love it and/or hate it). As we're inching closer to fall break, midterms, holidays and shorter days (note: we don't officially 'fall back until Nov. 1st), we wanted to carve out a segment for mental health. This year has been trying in many ways and 'doing life' in 2020 and 'doing graduate school' can feel extra draining. Therefore, in our spotlight video, we talk about some of the basics of mental health, self-care, and campus resources available to help you be your best.
The MTRP program is hosting "Minority Student Voices: Let's get it together!" on September 29, 2020 from 3:30-5:00 EST for undergraduate and graduate students ONLY. The goal of the discussion is to "express ourselves and figure out what you need as students. Students from all CEHD disciplines are welcome to attend and participate in this discussion." RSVP is required in order to receive the event link. Please RSVP by visiting this link.
Here are a few more dates to include in your planner because this semester will be over quickly. Really.
