Dear Pirates,

Happy Week 7, and Fall Break is just around the corner! As you wrap up classes, projects, and exams before the break, remember to take time to recharge and prioritize your well-being. Whether you're traveling or spending time with family and friends, use the break to rest and return refreshed for the second half of the semester. You're doing great, and you've got this! 🍁🍂

Pirate Tip of the Week: Find Your People on Campus 👥

At Seton Hall, we are committed to being a safe, supportive, and inclusive living and learning environment that fosters academic, spiritual, and personal growth. Your health, safety, and success are paramount in all we do.

Please take time to review our campus resources and ask for help if needed:

Mariana Kataoka
Survey Squad Member, Class of 2029

“When the world does not give you opportunities, create your own opportunities.”

Survey Squad exists to get your feedback! Last year, Survey Squad was created to serve as assessment ambassadors. Survey Squad members supported efforts to increase course evaluation response rates, analyzed and reported findings from the Student Check-In Survey, and participated in professional development focused on assessment, survey design, and data-informed decision-making, helping to elevate student voice across the University. The inaugural Survey Squad successfully supported assessment initiatives across campus, contributing to a 4-percentage-point increase in Course Evaluation response rates (48 percent to 52 percent).

“I learned about resources that Seton Hall offers, and it taught me to make connections with people and be open to trying new things.” - SHU Student
