A mere three months ago, Carleton University\u2019s MacOdrum Library<\/a> was filled with familiar sounds: the tapping of keyboard strokes and the rustle of students preparing for midterms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But on this day, Andrew Mendes, director of Student Care & Support, Mental Health & Conduct at Carleton hears only the echo of his footsteps. Mendes was back on campus to shoot a video<\/a> to thank donors to the 2020 Student Emergency Fund. While he certainly noticed the change in atmosphere, his visit to the library reminded him of the strength and resilience of the Carleton community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s such a relief for our students to know there are people they can depend on,\u201d he said. The support and mentorship shown by Carleton\u2019s faculty, staff and partners as we adjust to our \u201cnew normal\u201d comes through loud and clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
