Thank you.
2:14:27
I first wanna thank you all for being advocates.
2:14:32
I think it's challenging particularly when you're talking about things like social emotional health and things you need.
2:14:40
So I want I wanna thank you for doing that and for setting an example for other students that you can do it.
2:14:46
And I wanna point out, I don't think I heard any of you speak about academic needs.
2:14:52
I think each of you spoke about all of the things outside of your academics that you need in order to just go to school and be healthy in school and attend school, recognizing that school, that university is about so much more than what happens inside the four walls of the classroom, that it's about supporting the whole student.
