As May comes to a close, just a friendly reminder that May is Mental Health Awareness month. In the transition between classes, jobs, moving, travel, graduation, summer courses or catching up and reconnecting with people it can be thrilling, but can also be exhausting, unpredictable and overwhelming for a lot of us. Remember to prioritize your physical and mental wellness by taking time to rest and check in to assess how you're feeling and processing your emotions. We are still here for you over the summer so please continue to utilize resources such as TimelyCare or seek assistance from The Aggie Health and Wellness Center. If you or someone you know is ever in crisis call 988.

Last week we had the pleasure of traveling to the National Restaurant Association Show in Chicago with eight of our students. In collaboration with NMDA, they participated with their exhibitors and learned about all areas of the industry and experienced a new, exciting city! It was a wonderful trip and we are so grateful that we can provide travel opportunities annually to our students.
