Hey Mystics! As we start into the new school year, I first just want to say that I am beyond excited to have you all back on campus. Though summer is the bomb dot com, the real sunshine happens when you’re all here (yes, I am so aware of how cheesy that sounds but it’s true)! This year, I wanted to give all returning students a little friendly welcome back to campus - thus the creation of Welcome Week. Welcome Week is for ALL Mount students and will provide fun as well as opportunities for you find opportunities to get involved on campus and in the surrounding community. Most importantly, Welcome Week is supposed to help in the transition of getting back to class by providing mental health and wellness breaks. This week was not made entirely by myself or the Union but by many departments and individuals on campus - we’re just simply working together to make something beautiful. As we start this school year together, I am excited to see what comes ahead and ready to see what amazing things we make happen! Stay golden, Haley
