I hope you are all enjoying the cooler weather over the past week.

There is a lot going on around campus, both in and out of the classroom, which means it is important to find time to take care of yourself and keep an eye on those around you. Here are various resources to remember:

• Dyson Launchpad
• Learning Strategies Center (LSC)
• Tatkon Center for New Students
• Student Disability Services (SDS)
• Cornell Health
• Mental Health at Cornell
• Stress Management Strategies
• Sleep Strategies
• Office of Academic Diversity Initiatives

As you think about planning for the next month, try to get off campus to enjoy a local farm to go apple or pumpkin picking!

Have a wonderful week!
