Current Episode
As the days get shorter and darker, it can be hard to keep the spirits up. Especially, when you're dealing with big assignments and the overall stress of the semester. But, you don't have to do it alone. If you've listened to our past episodes, you might've come across one from last semester with the Community Care Centre. This week, we're re-hashing that conversation as a reminder that there is a place on each campus that's like a beacon of connection and support for all students. The CCC also focuses a lot of their programs on the needs of international and marginalized students. So, if you're feeling alone, know that you don't have to.
