The Mandel Minute | October 2, 2023

Hello from Mandel Council!

It's week six, and we know classes are getting busier and busier. We just wanted to send a reminder to please make sure to take care of your selves and eachother. Take a pause. Soak up some sunshine. Maybe grab a buddy and go on a walk around Shaker Lake!

As always, if you have any questions about student life in the Mandel School, or ideas for how to improve the student experience, please reach out to the Mandel Council at any time by emailing mandelcouncil@case.edu.

Have a great week and see you soon!
