Dear Students,
I hope this message finds you well. As we continue through the semester, I wanted to take a moment to remind you of the resources available to support your academic success and well-being.
First and foremost, please don’t hesitate to reach out to your professors or teaching assistants if you’re struggling with coursework or need additional support. They are here to help you succeed.
Additionally, our campus offers a range of services to support your mental and physical health, including counseling, academic advising, and tutoring. You can find more information about these services on our institute website.
As we approach midterms, I also want to remind you to take care of yourselves. Make sure to get enough sleep, eat well, and take breaks when you need them. It’s okay to ask for help when you need it, and don’t be afraid to prioritize your well-being.
Finally, I want to encourage you to get involved in our campus community. Join a club or organization that aligns with your interests, attend events and lectures, and take advantage of opportunities to engage with your peers and professors.
If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me or our student redressal cell. We are here to support you every step of the way.
