While we’re about two months away from the start of the fall term, now is the time to take a look at the rest of your summer plans to make the most of it!

Whether you’re getting ahead by taking a course this summer term, testing out the professional waters by doing an accounting internship, or taking a much needed break after a busy spring season, don’t let the summer pass you by without taking the time to recharge and reflect.

“Colorado summers are made for more than just catching your breath—they’re a perfect time to take care of you. Hike that trail you’ve been meaning to explore, sleep in without guilt, journal by a mountain lake, or just unplug for a while. Invest in your well-being, mentally and physically. Rest is not a reward—it’s part of the process. Then you can come back stronger, clearer, and even more ready to grow.” – Lecturer and Director, Risk Assurance and Advisory Center

As you reflect on your “why” and look ahead to the fall term, remember you’ve got access to great student support resources even over the summer!
