🔔 New Event! 🔔

On November 30th at 1:30pm, in room 3-105 of the DAWB, the GSSA and the IESSA are collaborating with the Wellness Centre to bring you a de-stress event!

Some of the topics that we discuss in Global Studies and IES can be negative, intense, and hard to deal with.

At this event, with the help of the Wellness Centre, we will be discussing ways to process this heavy information, as well as providing further resources for those who may be struggling.

We will also be sharing some thoughts from GS professors and alumni regarding their coping strategies! 👩‍🏫

This will be an open space for everyone, and we will be providing lots of cozy tea🫖

See you there! 💛
