2021

Survey fatigue... it’s real. It’s the reason why—every time I call my bank and the automated voice says, “Say ‘yes’ to take a brief survey after your call”—I hold my breath and wait quietly for a live customer service agent to break the silence.

The first six months of the pandemic were all about getting my bearings. For someone who used to spend thirteen-hour days on campus, (shout out to the Union sushi for providing 1/3 of my diet) --between class, club meetings, and naps on the Bennion Center couches--the transition to full days spent in my 750 square ft apartment overhauled everything I knew about myself.

January is Stalking Awareness Month and it’s good timing for us to be addressing this serious issue. As you may have seen in recent reports, rates of stalking have increased significantly on our campus and in the community.
