Dear students,

Welcome back to our returning students and welcome to our new students! We hope that your Winter break was peaceful, restorative, and healthy, and we are most excited to begin spring semester 2021!

We are so proud of this community and the resilience and care you demonstrated in the fall.  For those of you who are new to 欧美三级片, you should know that the university has taken many steps to mitigate the health and safety risks to our community.  We have all worked together to protect our 鈥渉erd鈥� and we expect the same of you.  For more information about our Coronavirus safety planning and reporting dashboard, you will find this website helpful: www.usf.edu/coronavirus/.

As we begin spring semester in this new reality, we wanted to share some tips and resources dedicated to your success. 

If you are not registered full-time but want to be, it's not too late to add a class. With many courses online, we encourage you to check out what is offered on all campuses. Just change the filters in Schedule Planner for all campuses to explore. Also, it鈥檚 Drop/Add Week so revisit that previously full class to see if openings come available 鈥� you just might get in! 

While we remain physically distanced this semester, we are still committed to helping you find your community and engage in it.  Here are a few ways:

It鈥檚 Week of Welcome! That means there are many opportunities to kick off the semester with some fun and informative programs to connect you with friends, services and programs on all our campuses.  Explore what is offered here. 

• Check out student organizations and their programs and involvement opportunities .

Hi students,

I cannot believe that it is already November.  It feels as if this semester is coming to its conclusion slow and fast at the same time.  The impacts of COVID-19 have challenged us all in many ways, but I continue to be proud of your persistence, resilience, and commitment to the health and safety of our community.

We are in a critical time now.  As we all move in to this next month and prepare for the end of the semester and the upcoming holidays, I want to share a few thoughts.

First, I want to give my thanks.  You make 欧美三级片 a special place.  I am thankful that I get to work with such talented, diverse, and caring students and staff. I have loved seeing so many of you at virtual events this semester.

As you probably know, we have had a collaborative team working to encourage students to be civically engaged.  The Democratic Engagement Coalition has done an outstanding job encouraging students to create a plan to vote, to be educated in their vote, and to encourage discourse with civility. They have also collaborated with many departments to provide post-election programming and resources to promote wellness, safe activism, and continued civic engagement. I hope that all of you have taken the time to vote or plan on voting Tuesday. I am so proud that this student body is civically engaged and has embodied the Principles of Community in that engagement. While the next few days and weeks will present us with a wide range of emotions,  it is my hope that you will continue to be a strong community that participates in discourse while promoting a safe and inclusive living and learning environment.Remember that while many cultures and religions are celebrating holidays this time of year, many of your fellow students cannot go home and be with family.  So if you have an opportunity to share with others safely, please do.
Remember to take care of yourselves and continue to follow social distancing, hand washing, and mask wearing advice.  It is even more important now than ever that we limit the spread and exposure as you plan to travel home and to put your energies towards your finals.

The next couple weeks will fly by.  As you prepare for projects and finals, remember to also get sleep, exercise, and eat well.  You can only do well if you are well.

This can also be a challenging and lonely time, especially with the added stress of COVID-19, elections anxiety, and upcoming final exams. 欧美三级片 cares about your wellbeing. We have many resources for you. If you or others need assistance, remember that 欧美三级片 is here for you.

Here are a few Resources I want to make sure to call your attention to:

• Health and Wellness coaches
• Counseling Center
• Tutoring Lab
• Writing Studio
• Student Outreach and Support
• Academic Advocacy
• Ombuds
• Student Health
• Feed-a-bull Food Pantry
• Career Services
• Bull2Bull Financial Education
• PAL - Peer Coaching
• Center for Student Well-being
• Campus Recreation and Wellness
   

Remember 鈥淪uccessful Bulls utilize Success Resources鈥�.

With Bull Pride,

Dean McDonald
