Managing your physical and mental well-being

Managing your physical and mental well-being

04/12/2022 

Dear students, 

As we enter the final few weeks of the semester, I want to encourage you to be proactive about prioritizing your physical and mental health. 
 
Projects, papers and studying for final exams can be challenging. However, making time to participate in other fun activities often helps students better manage their stress.  
 
Please do get outside and enjoy the spring weather if you are able. The Student Life Center offers great opportunities for whatever kind of recreation suits you. 
 
Many interesting events are happening on and off campus, including: 
 
These are just a sample of things you can do. Please regularly check the university calendar and Cortland Connect for more ideas.  
 
Whatever you choose, please be safe and respectful of our neighbors in the greater Cortland community. 
 
 
All the best, 
 
Erik J. Bitterbaum 

President
