Dunster HouseFrom the Office of the Resident Dean, Michael Uy
Deer Meese,
I hope you all had a wonderful and restorative Thanksgiving! I write this mooseletter from New York, where I am dropping off my sister! I wish you the best of luck and effort in this last week of classes. I’ve been advising some of you, but please remember that the last day to take a leave of absence for Fall 2021 is this Friday, December 3rd, the first day of reading period. If it’s just too difficult to complete the semester, you may consider this leave of absence a strategic decision. As you complete final projects and study for final exams, please be mindful of Harvard's Honor Code. Believe me, getting a lower grade or reaching out for help are much better than having a meeting with the Honor Council due to plagiarism or cheating. You should double and triple check the formats, times, and locations of your final exams. I know it’s been two years since you took in-person, proctored/invigilated three-hour exams of these sorts, so make sure you know when and where to go! Wash your hands, be safe, eat well, drink water, exercise, sleep, and communicate J Sending all the Dunster Love 
️
I again 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
