Participation Needed! Brief Survey About Mental Health and Coping Skills

The Pleiad is looking for any student to fill out the following google form. The form will help write an article that will be about mental health struggles and coping skills among students. It will take less than five minutes and your response may be used! This is not a study. Your response is entirely anonymous. Thank you in advance for your participation.

Write a Letter, Change a Life

Monday, Nov. 27, and Wednesday, Nov. 29, 4:30 ‐ 6:30 p.m. and Tuesday, Nov. 28 and Thursday, Nov. 30, 12:30 – 2 p.m., drop by the KC to join the Human Rights Lab in taking part in Amnesty International’s annual Write for Rights campaign, the largest human rights event in the world!

Write letters for those whose rights have been violated, showing solidarity and applying pressure on decision makers. These letters are proven to make a difference in people’s lives. U.S. citizen Rocky Myers, who’s on death row despite numerous problems in his case, is one of eleven people highlighted in this year’s campaign.

Stationary, sample letters, and case information will be provided at the table in the KC. Write there or take materials to go. For each letter you write you may earn volunteer hours and be entered into a raffle for prizes. Plus there will be snacks!

If you are off campus or unable to make it to the KC, email kla12@albion.edu to learn how to participate remotely or schedule a separate time to pick up materials.

Braiding Sweetgrass book club

Are you interested in nature, plants, science and indigenous knowledge? Are you a fan of Robin Wall Kimmerer’s book “Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge and the Teachings of Plants”? Do you want to heal our relationship with the earth?

Next semester there will be a book club dedicated to discussing these topics through this book. If you are interested in joining, sign up online. CSE will provide copies of the book to students who would like one. This club will have three sessions in January-February, two open to only students and the third open to all.
