Mount Royal University has opened the After Hours Peer Support Centre in Wyckham House. According to MRU Wellness Services Director Jody Arndt, this initiative was implemented after the university recognized that more after-hours resources were needed for students who feel isolated or need a safe space. The new centre, located in the Students’ Association of Mount Royal University’s (SAMRU) current Peer Support Centre, was made possible thanks to a $750K donation from the Viewpoint Foundation. The centre is staffed by students who provide a welcoming atmosphere, assess the needs of incoming students, and refer them to external entities when necessary.
