Dear Hokies,

Midterms are upon us, and I want to remind you how important it is to take care of both your mind and body during this busy time. Balancing academics with well-being is key to staying sharp and performing your best. Here are some resources available to help you stay strong, focused, and energized:

  • Cook Counseling Center: Feeling overwhelmed? Cook Counseling offers a variety of resources for stress management, including workshops and individual counseling. Be sure to explore its self care and support resources, too.

  • Hokie Wellness: Sleep and nutrition are essential during exam periods. Hokie Wellness provides tips to improve sleep habits and stay energized with proper nutrition. Check out the student resources for advice on how to keep your body in balance.

  • Recreational Sports: Physical activity is a great way to relieve stress and boost your mood. Whether it’s a quick workout, yoga session, or even a walk around campus, staying active can make a big difference. Learn more about Recreational Sports offerings and find activities that fit your schedule.

  • Dining Services: Eating well during midterms is vital for focus and energy. Dining Services offers a variety of healthy meal options and nutritional tips to keep you fueled during study sessions. And If you ever find yourself needing support or access to meals, please know that The Market of Virginia Tech is here to help by providing food assistance to students who may be facing challenges in obtaining regular, healthy meals.

As you prepare for midterms, take a moment to consider at least one thing that can help support your well-being. Your success depends not just on hard work but also on how well you take care of yourself.

You’ve got this, Hokies! And remember, if you don't know where to start, the Dean of Students Office is here to guide and support you every step of the way.

Warm regards,

S. Mark Sikes
Dean of Students
