Subject: Welcome back newsletter


Welcome back!

Hello everyone! I hope you've had a great first day of classes and start to the second. My name is Auden, and I’ll be your new VPMC for this year—so get excited for all of my emails! 

Back to school wellness tips 

Pomodoro Hack: Study for 25 minutes, then take a 5-minute break. 

Weekly Reset: Take one day (or just an hour) to clean your space, organize your desk, and plan for the week

Procrastinate Productively: Got a big paper? Start with the easiest part—like picking a font. Baby steps count!

Nature Therapy: Chill at the Cleveland Botanical Garden or take a walk around Wade Lagoon

ANNOUNCEMENT❗

The position of Secretary is now open! The Secretary is responsible for taking minutes, sending reminders for GB and Presidents' meetings, and attending GB and Presidents' meetings. This role is a valuable part of the IFC/PHC Executive Board and is a great way to get involved in Greek Life while maintaining a low time commitment.

Fun fact of the week: 
Bananas are berries, but strawberries aren’t! 🍌🍓 Botanically, a berry is a fruit that develops from a single flower with one ovary, which bananas do. Strawberries, on the other hand, develop from multiple ovaries, making them impostors in the berry world! 😄
