Dear Faculty and Staff —
It is that time in the year when the number of people struggling with their mental health typically increases. Common themes include stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and difficulties with interpersonal relationships. Though these struggles are often expressed at the individual level, they often arise from systemic issues in our environment and culture. We all have an opportunity to create a supportive environment for learning and growth.
We still have spots open to register for next week's Know Your U trip to Emiquon Nature Preserve on October 23rd! Our schedule has us departing the university at 9am and returning at approximately 3:30pm.
The annual fire drills for this year will be conducted on Thursday, October 31, and Friday, November 1 for the UIS campus. Please pay special attention to your building assembly points as some have been revised for the ease of assembly by location.
