CUBOD Chair Statement in Light of Recent Events
No amount of words can ease the pain, anger, or any emotions any of us may be feeling. As a community, we must recognize our mental health and perform actions that help to sustain it as individuals. The lives lost on this campus and in our communities impact each of us differently. It is essential to recognize those losses and provide space for us to process our emotions and feelings. We need to make time to take care of ourselves because we all matter.
Remember always to put yourself first because you matter as an individual before anything. You can do this by routinely scheduling personal time on your calendar strictly for you and your needs and utilizing the resources on campus that are accessible for you and many other ways.
This list does not encompass all the resources available to students, staff, and faculty. It is just a few. A few resources that are accessible through the University and Student Union include the following. In response to these events, the Carolina Union Board of Directors continually works on ideas to create a space accessible to students, staff, and faculty. To bring everyone together to come together and express themselves to allow students to feel recognized and their emotions. As we continue to transition back into a new way of functioning as individuals.

With love,
Jamya Graham
