Good Afternoon,

The room numbers on the 11th floor Grace Conference rooms have been updated in Google calendar. The room to the right as you exit the elevators previously listed as1101, will now show up as 1100. The conference room on 11 north which was previously numbered 1100 will show up as 1160.

If you have future/recurring meetings scheduled in either of these rooms, you don’t need to do anything, the room numbering was automatically updated in Google Calendar.

Signage has been added to 1100 and 1160 with the new numbering.

Thank you!

Dear Colleagues,

The third fall renewal mailing (renew #3) dropped in mailboxes starting Thursday, October 20 to all our unrestricted and giving society benefactors. As a reminder, this mailing is sent to all assigned and unassigned benefactors whose annual giving is less than $25,000, asking them to renew their previous calendar year gift by their respective fund owner. This mailing is being sent to over 22,000 households and will be followed by email reminders in the weeks to come. If you have any questions regarding our renewal strategy, please reach out to the appropriate fund (Sorin, Rockne, Law, etc.) owner on the annual giving team and they can assist.

Thanks!

The World Health Organization recognizes World Mental Health Day on October 10th every year.

The theme of 2022’s World Mental Health Day, set by the World Federation for Mental Health, is ‘Make mental health and wellbeing for all a global priority’. Our world is reeling under the effects of the coronavirus pandemic, wars, displacement, and the climate emergency, all of which have consequences for the well-being of world citizens. There is however some good news.
There is increasing evidence that the prevention of mental ill health is possible by using both general and targeted evidence-based interventions.

This World Mental Health Day, help end the stigma around asking for help through the following:

Talk Openly About Mental Health

Educate Yourself And Others

Be Conscious Of Language

Encourage Equality Between Physical And Mental Illness

Show Compassion For Those With Mental Illness

Choose Empowerment Over Shame

Be Honest About Treatment

Let The Media Know When They’re Being Stigmatizing

Don’t Harbor Self-Stigma

Happy birthday to all our UR employees celebrating their special days in October! We hope you have a scary good year!
