Remember -- the Wellness Center is here for you!
We know that this semester continues to be like no other. In addition to the typical stressors of college, there are many new challenges associated with the reality of COVID and this moment in history. Please remember that the Wellness Center is still providing counseling services, even though the sessions are primarily provided over a video conferencing telehealth platform. Contact us at 410-857-2243 or wellness@mcdaniel.edu to set up an appointment.
And if your mental health needs are urgent and can’t wait, we still have a counselor on duty during business hours (Monday-Friday, 8:30am-4:30pm) who can speak with you right away -- just give the office a call! We are here for you.
Play loteria, win prizes
The Office of Student Engagement & the Office of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion in collaboration with the Hispano Latinx Alliance will be hosting loteria on Wednesday, September 30th, 2020 at 7pm in the ROJ Student Center located across from the Pub.
“Loteria” means BINGO! Winners will receive various prizes, including gift cards to Del Huerto Mexican Grill. Masks and social distancing will be enforced. For any questions contact Manny Rodriguez at merodriguez@mcdaniel.edu.
Register for the virtual SmartTalk
On Thursday, October 22nd, at 7pm, President Casey will lead a conversation with Ludley Howard ‘84, President and CEO of Pride Youth Services. Howard’s vision of creating effective, culturally competent services for African American youth and their families led to the founding of Pride Youth Services. He remains committed to empowering the lives of young people from diverse experiences and backgrounds. Click here to RSVP.
Beautify campus with the Grounds crew (and get paid!)
The Grounds Department plays a vital role in keeping the Hill looking as spectacular as possible -- and they’re looking for PAID student workers to join their team! From helping with flower planting, to painting outdoor furniture, to assisting with projects on the athletic fields, there is plenty of work to be done. Find the job listing on Handshake and email Mike Lueking (mlueking@mcdaniel.edu) to learn more.
Totally unrelated sidenote: the first student reading this to email Amanda (agelber@mcdaniel.edu) with the word “comfy” wins a blanket.
Prepare to VOTE
From Monday, September 14th through Friday, October 16th, stop by the McDaniel Votes registration table near the Pub on the mid-level of the Roj Student Center. A representative will be there on Mondays and Wednesdays, from 11am-2pm and 5pm-7pm, as well as on Fridays, from 11am-2pm. This is sponsored by Hoover Library, OSE, ODEI, McDaniel Political Science Dept, and Carroll County League of Women Voters.
Learn about the Environmental and Climate Justice Coalition
The first Environmental and Climate Justice Coalition (EJC) Info Session will be held on Wednesday, September 30th, from 3:30-4:30pm!
