Virtus Newsletter: A Calling for the Thinkers
Hello 👋
We welcome a new school year and all the less welcome – but necessary – digests, readings, recitations, and stress – that comes with it. This hopeful beginning is celebrated every year with the acquaintance party, where old faces are made fresh, and new faces are shown off before they shortly carry with them the look of a law student who has endured the study of law.

Mindful of mental health
Sharla Baybay reminds us for this year's celebration of mental health day to be mindful of our own and other's mental health. "If you know one, talk to them, and find out how you can help or how you can help them seek help. If you are one, do not be afraid to talk and seek help."
"It’s not bad to be kind to yourself. It’s not bad to find joys despite the challenges. It’s not bad to not take yourself seriously even just for a moment." Start with a Smile
