Know Your Resource: Milestone Life Events
Student Life wants to ensure we’re supporting our Sloanies through all of life’s big moments. Whether it's celebrating a wedding, welcoming a new baby, or offering condolences during a loss, we want to be there. If you know anyone who's recently experienced a big milestone, we’d love to send them a card, a onesie, or even a cute stuffed Beaver from our team.
Please let us know, and we'll take care of the rest!
