You Are Not Alone

Hello CBS,

Recent events in the city of Davis have been heartbreaking for all of us. As Chancellor May stated last week, with the alleged perpetrator in custody, "We can all breathe a little easier and begin to process the pain, fear and sorrow we collectively experienced."

As each of us begins the healing process, remember you are not alone. If you or someone you know is struggling, the best thing you can do is reach out to loved ones and support networks. Your mental health and well-being are paramount.

Below, in the DNA's "wellness corner," you will find some ideas that may help you process your feelings. Please remember that Aggie Mental Health counseling and support resources are available 24/7. If you need immediate support, text "RELATE" to 741741.

As we enter the home stretch of this academic year, take care of yourselves and one another as we move forward together.

Pass/No Pass Deadline

"Is it a course for my CBS major?"

Even though the P/NP deadline has been extended, CBS students should proceed with caution before changing course grading options. Major courses must be taken for a letter grade, not P/NP, unless the course offers only P/NP.
