Part of Mental Health Awareness Week 2021. Sponsored by the Department of Resident Life and the Counseling Center.

This workshop from the Counseling Center will address common student mental health concerns, ways to communicate about mental health with students, available mental health resources (including the Counseling Center) and how to refer them, and methods of coping for everyone involved. It will occur a few times throughout the semester (9/27, 11/3, 12/3) to hopefully accommodate varied schedules.

Terrapin Leadership Institute (TLI) is a five-week-long leadership development program tasked to guide students across campus — through hands-on activities and critical dialogue—in discovering who they are as leaders and becoming confident with tangible leadership skills and strategies that can be applied to their everyday lives. The workshop is a low-commitment, high-intensity series that is meant to accommodate the student's busy schedules. There is no cost to participate in TLI!
