Support in response to world events
When world events affect members of our community, we know how important it is to have the right support, especially for those who are far away from family and friends back home.
We understand that world events can have an impact on many different aspects of our students’ lives and can also sometimes affect good relations between people. If you're affected by world events there are many places on campus where you can find support, whether you’re looking for practical help, advice, or someone to talk to.
