Published May 8, 2024

This time of the year can be particularly emotionally taxing and events in the world around us can add on more stress.

Counseling Services would like to hold space for our students to process how they are feeling as we come to the close of academic year 2023-2024. We want to provide a forum for students to find both release and connection as an avenue for self-care during stressful times.

Be a part of the conversation. We are offering two opportunities to participate:

Thursday, May 9 from 5:30-7 p.m. in 210 Student Union
Friday, May 10 from 12-1:30 p.m. in 210 Student Union
