Hello CASE Scholars, friends and families,

We are beginning the 7^th week of the semester and there are a number of things going on that I wish to address.

1. We are NOW squarely in the midst of the mid-semester timeframe. Most scholars have just completed their first round of exams for the semester and NOW is the time to take stock of how you are doing at this point, with your professors. Electronic Mid-Semester forms will be sent to you via e-mail. We are asking that you send the form to your professor, requesting feedback on your current attendance, participation and performance at this point in the semester. The forms will be returned directly to our staff, and if there are any concerns, a CASE staff will follow up with you. We ask that you send the electronic forms to your professors before March 4^th and we ask that your professors complete the form before March 18^th.
2. If you require any immediate academic assistance please consult with the Spring 2022 Tiger Tutor Schedule.
3. Based on our Cohort meetings, a consistent theme we are hearing from students it the need for mental health resources.  So, allow me to present you with a few options hosted by the Student Health and Well-being department.
