[2015] Taking Steps as a United Community

[Joanne Zhou]

Dear 2015s,

This has been an incredibly trying year for all of us. We have endured one
of the most painful experiences of loss three times in one school year.

The Class Councils have worked alongside UA Exec as well as the UA Council*
to discuss student wellness on campus, and have begun the process of
reinforcing our unity behind change.

This process includes establishing data that we can bring to administrators
via a survey about student wellness services, and the potential formation
of a permanent Institute Committee focused on improving student mental
health on campus. But we need your help in working towards defining our
goals as undergraduates and developing a comprehensive plan of action.
Please keep an eye out for future emails gathering student ideas, and if
you have suggestions as to how we should organize these ideas, we would
appreciate if you send them our way.

Our community is hurting, but healing. As we move forward in rebuilding our
home, let us support our MIT family by reaching out and listening to each
other.

Always,

Joanne Zhou, Anish Punjabi, Liana Ilutzi, Colin Webb
