It was great to see so many folks on campus for Sibs Weekend despite the snow! We still have one Family Weekend remaining this year in April, Moms Weekend (April 10-12). I look forward to you inviting more friends and family to explore your favorite parts of campus and Athens.
Whether you’re preparing for upcoming exams, getting involved on campus or simply finding your rhythm, remember that you don’t have to do it alone. Our campus resources are here to support you every step of the way. Keep going — you’re doing important work, and I’m cheering you on.

Question, Persuade and Refer |
QPR is a nationally recognized suicide prevention training designed to teach participants how to recognize the warning signs of a suicide crisis, how to offer hope, and how to get help. Much like CPR, QPR is an emergency mental health intervention — a simple but effective approach that anyone can learn.
