Dear Students,
As we reflect on the recent election, it’s important to acknowledge the many emotions that come with such significant events in our lives and communities. Regardless of your personal views or perspectives on the outcomes, it’s natural to experience intense feelings during and after elections.
I want to take a moment to reassure you that it is okay to feel a mix of emotions right now—whether it’s joy, disappointment, confusion, or even frustration. These feelings are valid and part of being an engaged citizen. Remember, our diverse perspectives are what make discussions rich and meaningful, even if they sometimes lead to heated debates.
In times like these, I encourage you to prioritize self-care. Take time to check in with yourself, your loved ones, and your friends. Engage in activities that bring you peace and happiness, and don’t hesitate to reach out for support if you need it. We are all in this together, and leaning on one another can provide comfort and healing.
Please be kind to yourselves and remember that it is perfectly normal to process the aftermath of such a significant event in your own way and at your own pace. Let’s continue to foster a supportive community where everyone feels heard and respected.
Take care of yourselves and each other.
Warm regards,
Dr. William P. Mullaney
President
