A steak!
If you were in charge of the university for one day, what’s the first thing you would do?
I would create a quiet and safe space, in each building, for people to hang out if they are having a ‘bad day’, are feeling anxious or maybe just need some mental health ‘quiet time’. No computers just some books, maybe some support materials and some plants OR make every Tuesday on campus ‘Taco Tuesday’ because who doesn’t love a Taco!
