Even though there are multiple ways to get involved on campus, it can still be difficult to make genuine connections with your peers. This is why the Office of Health Promotion offers the Soul Series, a range of events for students to meet each other and discuss meaningful topics in a safe space. If you\u2019ve felt alone on campus, just looking to make deeper connections or talk about issues that matter to you, the Soul Series is for you!
