Like most, WBI members have been struggling to juggle school, the pandemic, and civil engagement. We’re glad we were able to work on a few projects this year and we look forward to providing more support! ============================================================ Since it’s been a while since you’ve heard from WBI, the main goals of this letter are to remind everyone of helpful resources, outline WBI goals for the future, and let students know about WBI plans to provide support during the end of the semester and over the summer. Most importantly, we’re looking for feedback and communication from you on what types of support you need, how we can help, and any ideas you might have! There is a survey in this email, listed under the Finals Support Plan section, but please also feel free to reach out to us directly! Finals Support Plans Depending on interest levels, WBI is hoping to offer virtual “study groups” while students all prepare for finals. There are studies that show people are more productive when they work in a group and this would allow everyone to feel connected even while we can’t all meet in Mondale. These study sessions would largely be quiet while people work on their own projects, though the host of the meeting could create breakout rooms for groups that wanted to discuss classes, problems, or something not related to law school! ** Click here to let us know if you’re interested (or not) and/or have any other ideas!

The last few weeks of class are stressful and we welcome thoughts on how we can support you during this time and even over the summer. Second, we plan to be more consistent with the newsletter and our communication with the student body. With any luck, we’ll be able to use this newsletter to provide support, connection, and updates every week! Third, WBI is making plans to ensure a strong support system for Fall 2021! Keep an eye on the next newsletters for new information, involvement opportunities, and more! This last year, WBI has prioritized the mentorship program, the pandemic transcript notation, and various online meetups. Going forward, we are all very excited about being able to support people in person again! WBI has many plans for the future that we don’t want to jinx by revealing too soon, but expect some exciting additions and happenings in WBI 2021-2022! Other Resources While drafting a list of resources to include in this newsletter, the list quickly doubled the length of the overall email. In an effort to provide these resources without overwhelming the rest of the content or the readers, WBI has created a ** Resources Page on our website (https://umn.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=da8f99633e0f399555febbcfb&id=bb51f391e9&e=d799be8c9d) where law students can always go to find support.
