Dear Ram Community,

Rams take care of Rams is a phrase that has been embraced by our community, especially during the ongoing challenges of living, learning and working in a global pandemic. It reflects our collective values and defines us as a community committed to supporting the health and well-being of ourselves and each other.

Now more than ever, we must remember that seeking help is a sign of strength. If you are in need of support, please reach out. If you know someone – a student, colleague or friend – who could benefit from support, please encourage them to connect with these resources.
