Letter to My Coach

Letter to My Coach

Today, I want to talk about a figure that we too often take for granted: coaches, instructors, guides who surround us and who, in one way or another, transform our lives. They are like sculptors who, with patience and dedication, shape the clay that we are, smoothing the edges with the chisel and helping us find a shape that we often cannot see on our own. And yet, we never thank them enough.
The Day I Died

The Day I Died

I died, and it wasn’t from pain, or old age, or illness. I died, and it wasn’t from mourning, from ending, from longing, from joy. I died, and it wasn’t sadness, hate, work.

Accessing Buildings After Hours

Accessing Buildings After Hours

One of the projects ASCIT B.o.D. adopted in 2023 was to review the building accessibility policies for undergraduate students outside of normal operational hours. For context, following the pandemic, building access was understandably limited in order to prioritize the safety and health of the campus communities. Since then, many of the previous building accessibility policies have been reinstated. The following outlines what these policies are, and who to reach out to should you experience difficulties. Additionally, while there are buildings that all students have access to, students also have access to specific (and relevant) buildings based upon the division that their option is in. Thus, the following will outline the building policies for each division as well as campus-wide accessibility.
