Good morning,

As we approach our fall wellness day tomorrow, I want to encourage each of you to take a moment to pause, reflect and recharge at this midpoint of a busy semester. There will be no classes, and faculty are encouraged to avoid any deadlines tomorrow in addition to deadlines or tests on Wednesday.

I hope you’ll enjoy the day in the ways that feel right for you. That might mean unwinding with a favorite hobby, taking a walk around Lake Raleigh or through the JC Raulston Arboretum, or calling someone you haven’t talked to in a while. If you think about a friend, classmate or colleague tomorrow, let them know. A quick text can mean more than you’d expect.

And if you’re carrying a heavier load than usual, you don’t have to handle it alone. Our wellness and support resources are available for every member of the Wolfpack community.

Take care of yourselves and each other, Wolfpack.

Thank you, 
Kevin Howell
Chancellor
