VICE PRESIDENT ENEWS MESSAGES

With the end of fall term and winter holidays approaching, I ask us all to be mindful that these can be stressful times for many students and families. We sometimes take for granted the effort and emotional investment involved in a student’s life. The pressures of exams, final projects, work, family commitments, financial hardships, travel, and for some, graduating and beginning a career can all be challenging for students.
 
As staff, friends, and peers this holiday season, let us look out for each other and offer our support and encouragement. If you or someone you know needs special help, we have outstanding resources at UGA, from counseling to wellness to student support. Always feel free to reach out or refer those in need. More information on available resources can be found at studentaffairs.uga.edu.
 
One of the most wonderful things about UGA is how much we all care about our community. In that spirit, may we share our joy and care with those around us. After all, we’re all we have.
 
Best of luck for the remainder of the academic term and have a blessed holiday season.
