| | Fall Quarter: Week 5
We’re halfway through the quarter, and as the weather gets cooler, it’s a good time to check in with yourself. Remember to take care of your physical and mental well-being, find a healthy balance between school and life, and give yourself grace along the way. You don’t have to do it all on your own! If you need support, guidance, or just someone to talk to, we’re here for you.
Below are this week's updates and reminders:
- Halloween Party
- Mid-Quarter Check-in
- Winter Quarter Registration
- Mapping Your Future: Career & Graduate School Planning - EDU 65C
