Dear UC Berkeley students, As we move into the final stretch of the semester, we encourage you to take this opportunity to reflect on your personal well-being and what you may be experiencing as you try to complete papers and projects and prepare for exams. Each of you came to Cal with many strengths, including your ability to connect to others and resources, your problem solving skills, and your motivation to succeed. With the rigorous academic workload and difficulties taking care of multiple and competing demands, it can be challenging and overwhelming to be a UC Berkeley student.
