Mental Health and Counseling Center’s Series of Activities for Spring 2026【Standing Together Like Meerkats – Finding Belonging and Connection】
Side by side, taking turns,
meerkats rise to stand watch over the plains.
One keeps guard while the others gather close.
A shared glance becomes a signal of reassurance.
They are neither alone nor pretending to be strong.
In one another’s presence, they find courage and direction.
This semester, let us practice drawing closer
to those around us who need support,
and rediscover a sense of belonging through connection.
Registration opens gradually starting February 23.
Some activities are eligible for Student Learning Portfolio credit, Teaching Passport certification, or Civil Servant Continuing Education certification.
(These Activity will be using mandarin as main language)
