Hi ,   

As midterms approach, remember there are plenty of campus resources here to support you! Schedule with a Peer Tutor, attend an SI Session, visit the Writing Center, and/or meet with a Success Coach.

Don’t forget to attend faculty office hours for advice, and if needed, schedule a meeting with a College Advisor to review resources and options, including the possibility of withdrawing from a course or changing the grade type to S/U. The deadline for these actions is Monday, October 21st.

Questions? Contact our team by emailing firstyear@tulane.edu or by visiting our website.

The TUgether for Mental Health campaign invites Tulanians to come together to reduce stigma through education, learn new ways to support one another, and build a stronger campus community. This includes starting conversations with our friends, colleagues, and community about the ways mental health show up in our lives and how we can support one another every day and in times of crisis. Explore how you can get involved throughout September and beyond below!
