Hi Undergrads,

I hope you take some time this week to take care of yourself in the midst
of all of the final projects and presentations as the semester is winding
down. Below is a calendar of May de-stress events put on by MindHandHeart,
a coalition of students, faculty, and staff promoting well-being in our
community.

Have a wonderful last week of classes and good luck on finals!
