Dear Alumnus
In these unprecedented times of pandemic, the world is passing through a lot of struggle and our students are no exception. One has to agree these times and uncertainties cause enormous stress in our lives. Our students have reached out to IIT M for help in finding internship and placement opportunities, adapting to the new learning methodologies, and some for financial help because of the damage done by COVID 19.
This is a time where we have to stand by each other and IITM stands with its fraternity. With this level of stress and given academic responsibilities the students are exposed to mental stress and trauma. IITM has taken the initiative of setting up a Student Wellness Centre. The Centre is undertaking a lot of activities aimed at helping students understand and cope with stress.
The center has appointed a Chief Wellness Officer. Currently, we are also planning to have more outreach programs to help students which demands additional resources. Here is a proposal by our Dean of Students' Prof Siva. with more details. Please find a brief report on various initiatives by our wellness centre.
IITM's alumni have always been there by its side in helping students in various areas like education, distress support, travel, etc. We seek your generous donations and request to lend a helping hand in improving the mental wellbeing of students.
