As we approach mid-semester, the many responsibilities that our students are balancing may begin to feel overwhelming for them. They may be experiencing the stress of mid-term exams, missing loved ones, worry about world events, or financial stress. Keeping our students healthy is one way to limit the impact of these often-unavoidable life challenges. Some basic strategies for students include good sleep, hygiene, daily movement, and proper nutrition.
The Office of Campus Relations will be hosting two Open Photo Studio sessions for Fall 2023 for all staff or faculty. The photos can be used for university purposes such as department websites, campus directory, speaking engagements at conferences, etc. Any staff or faculty member who either hasn’t had their portrait taken or would like another, more recent, portrait taken are encouraged to attend.
As the weather gets colder and we engage in more indoor activities, our risk of illness increases, including cold, flu, RVS, COVID-19, and many other illnesses. One of the best strategies is always prevention. Please consider getting an updated vaccine to help keep yourself and others safe.
