If you are arriving on campus that week, please feel free to call the Frosh Week Info Line at 867-4111 brought to you by your Students' Union and Peer Mentors. Call the line for any inquiry you may have, tall or small. Whether it be what building "NH" stands for, where the night's event is located, or if you just want someone to chat to, the Peer Mentors on the other end will be happy to give you some answers and resources!
Wednesday and Thursday of this week, alongside the Student Life team, Nick, Rachel, Jessie and I all took part and completed the Mental Health First Aid training. It was an extremely informative few days! The Students' Union understands that the Mental Health of our students a priority on campus. This training allowed us to understand the importance of minimizing the stigma of mental health and gather more awareness on various disorders and conditions, also gaining the confidence to spread that awareness as well. When I was at The Campus Trust conference in Toronto earlier in the summer, we talked about how important it is for campuses to have resources for student's mental health and we are trying to work towards that goal.
Speaking of The Campus Trust, just a reminder to all you folks out there that already have insurance coverage you HAVE TO OPT OUT OF YOUR HEALTH AND DENTAL PLAN beginning SEPT 1ST - SEPT 30TH 2012! We will have stations set up in the KMC on Welcome Day, and for the remainder of September at the Info Desk of the SUB in the Bloomfield centre, you will need to have proof of coverage with you. You can also opt out online at: www.studentbenefits.ca! (Sorry for yelling...) Lastly, I wanted to put it out there that we are looking to hire more DriveU Drivers come September and will be putting up the application on our website *theu.ca* the week before Frosh Week, so please if you are interested, keep your eyes open for the application!
Hope everyone is enjoying the sun and has a very lovely weekend :)
