In light of recent announcements from the University, we recognize that students will be spending a lot of time alone and that this could have negative implications for our mental health. With this in mind, we’re launching CoronaBuddies. The goal is to pair people up and have regular check-ins by phone or Skype to keep our spirits up in the absence of daily face-to-face contact. We’d like to get this set up early, so that people know who they can be in contact with before it becomes necessary.

While many people might prefer to choose their own buddies for this, we hope you will consider signing up for a random buddy so we can pair people who may feel that they don’t have anyone to go to (it’s also a great way to make new friends!).
