With finals right around the corner, and the last of the snow melted (hopefully), the end of the school year for many is almost here. First and foremost, congratulations on a successful year! If you are graduating, best of luck to you in the future and we hope you . If you are returning in the fall, or staying for Maymester or summer classes, I hope to see you around.

As the spring semester comes to a close, I also know that this is the most stressful time of the year for most of us. So, take care of yourselves and look out for each other. If you do find yourself overwhelmed or needing additional support, please contact one of the resources below.

Have a great summer, and remember, you're Buffs wherever you are!
