[ORDER SOLUTION] How To Normalize Vulnerability
In this final reflection, please draft a brief letter to a UWB student who will be returning to campus in the fall. You can focus on new students, transfer students, or senior students who may have been on campus before the pandemic. Write a message that places you in community with them. This is all about building a culture of care. Think about what you uncovered, learned and valued from our class conversations. Write a letter to students to help them feel connected, seen, and cared for. The goal is to normalize vulnerability without fetishizing hardship. We want to recognize and allow space to be present, not to just power through, but instead to treat ourselves with tenderness as we face struggle. This may include:Acknowledging there are larger systems of harm that impact how each of us show up at UWBSharing your struggles and normalizing that it is okay to struggleIdentifying resources that supported youEncouraging students to take time to be as well as they can be, to find community, etc
