Change is challenging even when we choose it, and we all need support as we move through any kind of change. We also need to take steps to support our personal well-being beyond our intellectual lives and accomplishments. We all require warmth, understanding, and patience in our social interactions. Students want to know that you care about them and, importantly, what kind of support they can expect from you. They want to know that you, too, are an imperfect human who experiences failure, setbacks, and disappointment. The mental health and well-being of the Stanford community are being prioritized more than ever before as we all seek to create a Stanford in which flourishing is our shared experience.
