Lafayette Today – April 6

Good morning! We’re in the third week of remote instruction. Please remember that if you’re struggling or uncertain, there are people eager to help. Take advantage of the Counseling Center’s coping tips and resources. Check out our remote library services, technical assistance, and CITLS resources. Read the information in FAQs on learning, teaching, or working. Or let us help you get in touch with someone who can reassure you or point you in the right direction. Learning and working remotely is a challenge we’re tackling together—we can do this, Lafayette!
