WHAT'S ON YOUR PLATE? BALANCING SCHOOL & LIFE 🏛️👩🏽‍👩🏽‍👧🏽‍👦🏽📋

Take a look at everything you’re balancing right now. What is one thing you can plan, adjust, or ask for help with this week that would make your week a little easier?


Your simple 3-step strategy:


  1. Know your must-dos: Identify the assignments, work shifts, appointments, and responsibilities that cannot move.
    
  2. Make room for the unexpected: Leave some breathing room in your schedule. Life happens, and your plan should have some flexibility.
    
  3. Ask before you're overwhelmed: If work, family, transportation, finances, or school are becoming too much, reach out. You don't have to wait until you're struggling to get support.

9/25 @ 11:30 WELCOME TO THE PACK: BUILDING BELONGING, FINDING COMMUNITY, & CHOOSING KINDNESS 🫂🕊️🤗


National Hazing Prevention Week provides an opportunity to have a broader conversation about the kind of campus community we want to create. While hazing may not be something every student has experienced or even recognizes, many students understand what it feels like to be left out, bullied, excluded, or intimidated.



On Friday, September 25th @ 11:30 AM join us for the Welcome to the Pack event. Our goal is to create a welcoming environment where students can congregate in the Learning Commons and enjoy free cookies and popcorn, interact with therapy dogs, and engage in meaningful conversations about belonging, kindness, respect, and inclusion.



Rather than focusing solely on hazing, this program encourages students to reflect on how everyday actions contribute to a campus culture where everyone feels valued and connected. Students can participate in a scavenger hunt and win a prize.

Chancellor King Announces ‘I Voted at SUNY’ Sticker Design Opportunity for SUNY Students 🗳️🏛️

Albany, NY — State University of New York Chancellor John B. King Jr. today announced the "I Voted at SUNY" sticker design contest. SUNY students will be able to submit sticker designs, and the winning design will be available at all SUNY polling sites throughout New York State during the November midterm elections.

 

"A vital part of SUNY’s commitment to student success is preparing well-rounded, civically engaged students who feel empowered to participate in our democracy," said SUNY Chancellor King. "I am thrilled to be launching this opportunity which will showcase the excellent work of our students and inspire them to visit one of our on-campus polling sites this November. We will continue to promote civil discourse, civic education, and building bridges across differences on campuses so that SUNY students are fully engaged and ready to be future leaders."

 

The SUNY Board of Trustees said, "SUNY is proud of our efforts to ensure our students have opportunities to participate in civil discourse and civic engagement. We wish our students participating in the sticker design competition good luck and look forward to seeing some of the great designs they come up with to inspire their fellow students to vote."

 

SUNY students can submit one original design for the sticker contest through Friday, October 9. Stickers submitted to the contest will be required to be non-partisan, and may not directly or indirectly include candidate names, party affiliations, or issue advocacy language. For more information and additional submission rules, please visit //suny.edu/vote.

 

The selected sticker will be made available at all polling sites located on SUNY campuses during the 2026 midterm elections on November 3.
