William & Mary students know all too well the discomfort of intense academic stress. We aim to work to expand academic wellness workshops, support TutorZone, and create clear academic resources to help students build healthy habits and manage school work. 

Academics shouldn’t come at the cost of health. We plan to work with the Student Accessibility Services and the Student Health Center to help create clearer mental health related academic policies, including excused absences and appropriate SAS accommodations, as well as ensuring students have access to open dialogue and resource guides. 

Students should know what classes they are getting into when course registration comes around. Our administration will heavily push Senator Mayer Tawfik’s initiative to get a syllabus bank accessible to all. We understand faculty have a special relationship with their course and syllabi, so we intend to work with the Faculty Assembly to find common ground and finalize this three year project. 

We aim to support the use of mid-semester feedback so students can share what's working for them in classes, and where there's space to improve. These check-ins can provide a chance to allow students' concerns to be addressed, before the end-of-semester evals. 

 Too often, students interested in going abroad feel overwhelmed or unsure where to start. Our administration would aim to help create a guide that would break down the process, highlight Global Education Office resources, and share real student tips so studying abroad feels accessible, transparent, and doable for more students.
