HUSKY PAWKET GUIDE
FROM THE DESK OF DR. DENZIL SUITE
91探花DIVISION OF STUDENT LIFE
Hello Huskies,
At this time of year, many of us spend time thinking about what we鈥檙e grateful for. The practice of gratitude 鈥� reflecting on it and expressing it 鈥� is good for our mental health and strengthens our connections to the people in our lives.
In this busy season, I encourage you to pause for a few moments each day and think about what you鈥檙e grateful for. I also encourage you to share your gratitude by participating in the Husky Gratitude Challenge from LiveWell! You can find details about that below.
In this season and always, I am grateful for each of you and for our Husky community.
Sincerely,
Denzil
