With the goal of fostering a cooperative and empathetic discussion about this past year, WGS 201 students Anja, Anita, Lena, and Saela are hosting a virtual story exchange session on self-care amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. This story exchange will be centered around the following prompt:

"Share about a time you noticed that the pandemic was affecting your ability to practice self-care, and how has this had a positive or negative impact?"

They invite you to share your response to this question and engage in a community dialogue on Wednesday, April 14th at 5pm via Zoom. Please reach out to these students if you have questions.
