Belinda Kumi | CAPS needs to have better immediate services
As a first-year student at Penn, I have had so many amazing new experiences and opportunities this year. I met new people, joined new clubs, and attended various social events. However, for me, this year also ended with hardships I never expected to encounter. I lost both my father and grandmother within two months and experienced unimaginable levels of grief. Trying to find a way to cope with the overwhelming cloud of feelings I had never felt before, I turned to the organization I had always heard suggested and praised by Penn faculty and staff: Counseling and Psychological Services.
