Q: Finding work/like balance and dealing with homesickness
A: Finding a work/life balance is crucial during college and beyond. Many Truman students struggle with this, risking burnout if they focus solely on work or aimlessness if they prioritize personal life excessively. Achieving balance is unique to each person, and comparing oneself to others is unproductive. Encourage students to focus on the present and set achievable daily goals. Emphasize self-care by engaging in activities that energize them. Additionally, advocate for open communication with professors to manage workload and mental health. Addressing homesickness involves incorporating familiar elements into daily life at Truman while fostering a sense of belonging for the future

The Center for Diversity and Inclusion (CDI) mission is to empower Truman State University community by dismantling disparities which prohibit fair and inclusive access to our resources, services, and programs, simultaneously strengthening the interpersonal relationships with historically unrepresented and systematically minoritized students. CDI believes it is the responsibility of every individual to intentionally contribute attitudes of open-mindedness that helps foster a culture of respect, inclusion, and belonging. Through academically, socially, and culturally responsive programming, CDI will continue to encourage students, administrators, faculty, and staff at Truman State University to engage in meaningful, transformative experiences while celebrating personal uniqueness and communal solidarity.
