We'd like to invite all students to an interactive workshop next Tuesday, March 2 at 5:30pm CST to engage in a conversation about mental health and how it relates to us as scholars, professionals, and persons. There will be panelists ranging from MSIS students, PhD candidates, and first-years, as well as representatives from CMHC and SHIFT. This will be an opportunity to share, build community, and learn from each other. We hope that you will join us for this important conversation!
