Post-Election Campus Resources
One of the most historic – and divisive – elections in American history has come to an end. I think we can all agree that the endless barrage of television and radio ads, social media and Internet videos and memes, and the divisive language of the campaign have taken their toll on our psyches and, in some cases, personal relationships.
While the election is over, many of us will continue to process it for the foreseeable future. With that said, I’d like for all of you to know that we are committed to supporting our students, staff and faculty during this time.
Please check back here for more information and resources as they become available.
Sincerely,
Dr. Mike Mullen
Vice Chancellor and Dean
Division of Academic and Student Affairs
