The UM Law Mental Health Collective recently hosted a Write a Letter to Your Future Self event on the Bricks, inviting students to pause, reflect, and connect through handwritten letters of encouragement. Participants were able to write a personal note to themselves or a message to another member of the UM community, offering support, motivation, or kindness to be received during finals week.
We were thrilled by the turnout, with over 100 letters collected, each filled with thoughtful reflections and words of care. This initiative aimed to promote mindfulness, self-compassion, and connection across campus, reminding students that even small acts of encouragement can make a meaningful difference.
Students who participated will receive an email closer to finals week with details about when and where they can pick up their letters. As the semester comes to a close, we hope these messages serve as a powerful reminder to slow down, take care of your mental health, and believe in your ability to finish strong.
