(U.S.) Thanksgiving Holiday Closing
The Fraternity, Theta Foundation, and Fraternity Housing Corporation offices will be closed Wednesday, Nov. 27, through Friday, Nov. 29, in recognition of the (U.S.) Thanksgiving Day holiday.
The World Health Organization (WHO) and World Federation for Mental Health (WFMH) recognize World Mental Health Day (WMHD) each year on Oct. 10. WMHD was first observed in 1992, and exists to raise awareness and incite action within the global community. The official theme for WMHD 2022 is “Make Mental Health & Well-Being for All a Global Priority.”
