Take care of yourself during this time and know that support is available. If you need to leave campus to better support your family, notify your professors and the Dean of Student’s Office. The Dean’s office also has a Microgrant Fund to potentially assist with travel costs. If you remain on campus, communicate with your faculty if your coursework is impeded. If you are experiencing distress, utilize CCPH resources or call 413-545-2337 to speak with one of our staff.
