Spring Quarter can be a difficult time for many students at SPU. After a long Winter Quarter and a short but needed break, Spring Quarter is often a time of stress and anxiety for the SPU community. There is also the recent news of President Martin’s resignation and the Board of Trustees decision.
Students, we care about you! UMin and partners are here for you! Please take advantage of opportunities to receive care and for spiritual practices that may be helpful for you. These include small group processing, one-on-one conversations, and spaces for spiritual practices. You can find information on the various opportunities on UMin's Hard Spaces Together web page. If you have questions, please email UMin.
