[Academic-Affairs] Update: Academic Affairs Student Mental Health information session this Wednesday

[Office of the Provost/VPAA]

*Hello everyone,*
*I'd like to add one bit of information in relation to this Student Mental
Health session on Wednesday: I had requests from several individuals to
make this session accessible via zoom, so we have set up a zoom link in
addition to the in-person plans we set up.   Having said this, individuals
who zoom will likely not be able to interact with the speaker and session
participants as much as people who attend in person.  The Cardinal Lounge
is not set up for hi-flex hosting of events, though it is certainly
something we aspire to for the future.  The most complete experience for
participants will be in person.*

*Lastly, we will record the zoom and share it following the event.*

*Thank you!*
