Take Care Initiative

CMU's Take Care Initiative encourages students to take good care of themselves, look out for their neighbors, and be aware of their surroundings. We recognize that health and wellbeing isn't just physical and work to foster a Safe environment and Community where each student feels like they belong and has opportunities for academic and personal Growth through Connection with peers, mentors, and supports.
