As the fall semester comes to a close, several events locally and nationally have affected our campus community. We know that these events, along with the stresses of finals and the end of the semester can be difficult to manage for all of us.
Please take care of yourselves and look out for each other. If you need additional support, contact one of the resources listed below.
Have a great winter break, and if you are graduating, congratulations! If you are returning, I’ll see you in January.
Akirah Bradley,
Dean of Students
