Some students are able to cope effectively, with little adverse impact on their academics or social life, while others struggle to varying degrees. Due to your presence on campus and the amount of interaction you have with students, you are in a good position to recognize those students who exhibit troubled behavior. While it's certainly impossible to notice and assist all of them, being observant and showing that you are concerned can go a long way toward helping a struggling student. Come and learn more about supporting students at the UMBC Counseling Center session: Notice and Respond. Spots for 30 ppl. Don't miss out! </p><p><strong>Two attendees will be randomly selected to their choice of 1 acupuncture or massage session.  <br></strong></p><p><em>View event <a href="http://my.umbc.edu/groups/pss/events/44890" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">post</a> and let us know you're coming<strong>.</strong></em><strong><br></strong></p><p><br></p><h4><span>PSS First Fridays</span></h4><h4></h4><h5><span>Friday, December 2, 11:30 a.m. – 1 p.m. (True Grits, Wing 3 - </span><span>Bakerscrust Section with the Desserts)</span></h5><h5></h5>PSS invites you to join us for lunch every first Friday of the month for
