Nov. 1 is now a wellness day, no classes
As we pass the halfway point of the fall semester, I want to acknowledge that while this is an exciting and fulfilling time of performance, training and learning, it can also be stressful. You are juggling late-night rehearsals, intense physical activity, long shop hours, complicated film shoots and rigorous academic classes, as well as balancing life and personal challenges as you work to become your best selves. Over the past month, faculty and staff have continued to hear from students experiencing significant difficulty managing these activities. Your well-being is a top priority for me and our faculty and staff. In recognition of this, we are implementing a few new measures to support our community's mental health better.
