Are you interested in a support group on campus that deals with depression and anxiety? Would you like some support through a tough time? Do you have good advice to share for someone in that spot? Do you like to have fun? Perhaps you delight in finger-printing a poster?
If you answered yes to any of this, then join WeAreHope for their meeting tonight (Monday) and be in community with others on campus.
We’ll meet at 5 p.m. in Stevens 109. Be there, or not … we love you either way!

Do you crave companionship? Unconditional devotion? You need a goldfish! Or a troubling of goldfish (I don’t know why a group of goldfish is called a “troubling,†since they are delightful companions.)
