From the Office of the Resident Dean, Michael Uy:

Deerest Meese, Happy Thanksgiving week! Whether you are here or traveling elsewhere, I hope your Thanksgiving is restful and filled with moments of gratitude and gathering. I’ll be here with my parents and sister! I haven’t got specific student hours this week, but if you’d like to talk today (Monday) or tomorrow, just send me an email. Otherwise, I’ll be happy to meet next week. Congratulations to the Dunster IM Ultimate Frisbee Team for winning the championships – Sean and I thought that was the most exhilarating IM team match we’ve ever seen! Good luck with the winter season. Come see Cheryl and Sean tonight (Monday) at the Hot Chocolate tasting in the dining hall! Sending Dunster thanksgiving. 

I write to bring your attention to a three-week workshop series by CAMHS called CPR: Courage, Presence, Resilience. “This December workshop series offers skills training and support rooted in evidence-based practices: mindfulness, positive psychology, resilience, and self-compassion.” Please consider and sign up! https://calendar.college.harvard.edu/event/cpr_for_mental_wellbeing_december_homestretch
