What's New at CAPS?
A message regarding the racist graffiti:
The racist graffiti that targeted our Black community has raised many emotions, including anger, hurt, fear and frustration. CAPS is offering additional appointments to EMU students needing to talk about the racist graffiti and about issues of racism in our larger community.
Students may access after-hours phone support in the evenings and weekends by calling 734-487-1118.
