Between the election happening yesterday, the holidays right around the corner, the general exhaustion from this semester, and the ongoing pandemic, we are emotionally exhausted right now! If you are experiencing similar feelings, check out some of the university wellbeing resources below.

If you are looking to debrief post-election, connect with our University Ombuds Office. Schedule an appointment here.

Juggling Work and Raising Teens During Covid-19
The next caregiver check-in will take place on November 6th at 12pm.

These check-ins are an opportunity for VT employees who are caregivers of children, teens, aging parents and/or family members to connect with one another around managing the demands of working and caregiving during these times of COVID-19 disruption. 

These are intended to be open discussions to share current information and resources, as well as to support one another. Join the discussion here.
Through Feminist Eyes
Through Feminist Eyes, in collaboration with the Women's and Gender Studies Program in the Department of Sociology, is intended to provide additional opportunities for undergraduate WGS students to engage feminist scholarship, specifically the breadth of feminist scholarship taking place at Virginia Tech. This program is offered in the Fall of each year.

Dr. Parti and Dr. Robinson will be speaking on Underreporting Violent Sexual Crime in Hungary: Elements of Decision-making and Social Context.
