We are living in times that, in so many ways, are disrupting our sense of normalcy; compelling us to consider what responsibilities we have for creating a future that is more sustainable, equitable, caring, and just; and challenging our strength and resilience. In the midst of these trying times, it is especially important that we engage the world with open minds and hearts and that we treat ourselves and each other with kindness, grace, and generosity.
This page offers resources (arranged alphabetically) to support your efforts to take good care of your emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual health. While not a comprehensive list of the wellness-promoting resources that are available to you on (or beyond) campus, we hope the inks included here are helpful for finding information and services to help you thrive during these unprecedented times. Please know that you are also welcome to contact Honors Programs directly either for help in seeking out campus support services or to share other resources that would be helpful to include on this site.
