WBI Weekly Digest

YOU GOT THIS!

Well-Being Wednesday



Pass this test!


We want to wish you luck!

We would like to wish all law students good luck on finals. To the 3Ls just
ready to get to May, to the 2Ls who came into law school under
unprecedented circumstances, and to the 1Ls who are still trying to adjust
to this thing we call law school, WBI knows that you have put in so much
work and it will pay off! As the last newsletter of the semester, I wanted
to share some of my favorite quotes.

“I hated every minute of training, but I said, 'Don't quit. Suffer now and
live the rest of your life as a champion. '” - Muhammad Ali. It takes
motivation and strength to get where we need to get. Focus on that end goal
and you will accomplish it.

“I promise you, there is something worse out there than being sad. And that
is being alone and being sad. Ain’t no one in this room alone.” – Ted Lasso.
We are all feeling overwhelmed and not all of us are going to get the score
we want. Know that you aren’t the only person feeling this way, and it's ok
to feel sad, but you are never alone while you are here.

“Every Single Day, in Every Walk of Life, Ordinary People do Extraordinary
Things.” - Jim Valvano. We are all just normal people, but everyday, any
one of us can do something extraordinary. Make exam day that day.

Outline Banks

WBI has compiled a comprehensive outline bank to support your finals
preparation. We write today with an exciting update: the Journal of
International Law and Minnesota Law Review have agreed to add outlines to
our collection! Many of these outlines are from recent years. We are proud
to continue building the community culture upon which Minnesota Law prides
itself. You can access the outline bank here
<https://sites.google.com/umn.edu/wbi/resources/academic-resources/outlines>,
which we will update if we receive additional outlines. At this point, each
journal has contributed to our outline bank – thank you for collaborating
with us!

Additionally, the WBI Academic Well-Being Committee would like to share its
preliminary report on student mental health. This report was created based
on data received through our recent well-being survey. You can read the
report here
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KXIvx6YsolfULl3mBt8tp1F-BmgxwJF9MqxWMfQhOBQ/edit?usp=sharing>,
which includes the following three asks of UMN law faculty:


   1.

   Immediately release recordings of class sessions for student access.
   2.

   Record all classes beginning in Spring 2022 and release recordings
   throughout the semester.
   3.

   Allow and encourage students to opt-out of cold calls beginning in
   Spring 2022.


These asks were based upon data collected through the WBI survey, which
demonstrated that law student mental health has continued to decline since
Spring 2021. Earlier this afternoon, WBI sent this report to the law school
faculty.

Thanks to Post-It Notes People

I would like to thank all the WBI members that contributed to the locker
post-it note project. Even though they were cleaned up quickly, I know it
was appreciated by many.
