As the end of the semester nears, we know things are getting busy. Remember to stay focused on your goals, lean on the supports around you and take time to appreciate the people who make our university community special—whether it’s a faculty member who inspires you, staff who help things run smoothly or fellow students who challenge you to think differently.
