Information  

Be Nice. Week: This Friday night, the women's and men's varsity basketball games are Be Nice. games. Come out and find out more about Be Nice. The third part of the be nice action plan is CHALLENGE. Challenge the stigma surrounding mental health. Stigma is #1 reason people don’t speak up or seek help when they are struggling. For example, calling someone “weak” for going to counseling or joking about mental illness can make others afraid to ask for support. When we challenge these comments and attitudes, we help create a safer environment where people feel accepted, understood, and more willing to reach out for help- something that can truly save lives.

Word of the Day

To delegate something (such as control, responsibility, authority, or a job or duty) is to trust someone else with it.

Those tasks can be delegated to someone else.
