It  is  the  beginning  of  a  new  semester  and  a  new  Year.  Many  of  us  may  have  made  New  Year’s  resolutions  or  promises  to  ourselves  about  trying  things  differently  this  year.</div>

Many  of  you  have  started  settling  into  the  routine  of  classes.It  is  the  time  of  the  semester  that  first  tests  or  papers  are  due.This  is  in  addition  to  everything  else  that  consumes  your  time  such  as  clubs,  organizations,  work,  relationships  and  family.It  is  a  stressful  time  for  many  valid  reasons.



So,  how  are  you  doing  with  this  stressful  time?It  is  common  for  many  of  us  to  feel  “blue,  sad  or  overwhelmed”  for  a  short  period  of  time,  but  I  am  concerned  that  you  may  be  feeling  more  than  just  feeling  blue,  sad  or  overwhelmed!</div>

Have  you  heard  the  statement,  “College…the  best  years  of  your  life?”  I  agree.  College  can  be  fun  and  exciting.  It  is  a  time  for  learning,  meeting  new  people,  being  introduced  to  new  ideas  and  philosophies,  participating  in  clubs  and  organizations,  and  pursuing  your  personal  dreams  or  goals.  Clearly,  a  lot  more  than  academic  learning  takes  place  at  college.  It’s  also  a  time  of  social  and  personal  growth.</div>

It  is  time  to  begin  a  new  year  at  UIS!  For  many  of  you  it  is  returning  to  something  that  is  very  familiar  and  for  some  it  is  a  new  experience.  The  result  of  this  time  is  highly  dependent  on  your  perspective.  It  is  a  period  of  intense  didactic  learning,  social  and  personal  development.



There  will  be  numerous  opportunities  for  you  to  be  involved  in  intense  didactic  learning.  There  will  be  textbooks  to  read,  studying  for  tests,  research  on  specific  topics  and  papers  to  write.  These  are  some  ways  of  expanding  your  mind  while  at  UIS.</div>

Diversity  equals  variety  and  it  doesn’t  take  much  looking  around  to  see  that  America  is  a  diverse  land  of  many  people  with  different  ethnicities,religions,  beliefs,  and  languages.  You  can  see  this  on  a  college  campus,  at  the  mall,  on  TV,  or  just  by  visiting  various  neighborhoods.  This  diversity  has  been  a  key  ingredient  of  American  culture  since  its  very  beginning  as  a  nation,  and  even  before  with  the  hundreds  of  Native  American  groups  who  lived  across  the  land.</div>
