    Today is World Kindness Day!

SAVE THE DATE for the second annual Community Kindness Day on Tuesday, November 19 — following Fall Study Break — a partnership between Mount Allison, the Mount Allison Students' Union (MASU), and the Municipality of Tantramar that aims to spread kindness on campus and in the community.

Students, faculty, staff, and the wider community are encouraged to get involved by participating in the planned activities, spreading random acts of kindness, and taking time to be kinder to yourself through self-care and mindfulness. 

Be kind today — and every day!
