Alliant Virtual Café

Welcome to Our Virtual Community

Through the Alliant Virtual Café, we will be supporting our communities, offering the expertise of our faculty, and providing connection and guidance. Not only will we learn how to cope with our new normal, we will look to thrive through the adversity, and begin our journey toward psychological recovery after enduring a once-in-a-lifetime global health crisis. We will get through this together.
