Spring can be a stressful time for many students and staff members. With summer on the horizon and months of work behind them, it can be difficult to keep the stamina of meeting deadlines and the same level of excitement as before.
In a typical year, “burnout,” or exhaustion brought on by overworking oneself, is no stranger for this community.
