in preparation for the year ahead we've

23
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:37,840
been communicating with student leaders

24
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:39,600
and these

25
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:41,280
clubs and associations so that they're

will be studying remotely or working

28
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:46,719
remotely one of the ways that they're

29
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:59,120
hoping to do that is through microsoft

30
00:00:46,719 --> 00:01:00,960
teams or webex

31
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:02,960
start on track is our mentorship program

32
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:04,400
in the fall and it pairs first-year

33
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:06,720
students with upper-year students

34
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:08,320
to develop skills such as time

00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:10,400
management relationship building

36
00:01:08,320 --> 00:01:12,080

to maintain that sense of community and

45
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:29,520
belongingness is to

46
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:41,119
