    3. Group Gathering Spaces (Various times each day M-F) Group Gatherings are virtual "meet ups" where LU students on campus or at home can talk with each other. These spaces can offer chances to learn by experience how to share one’s self, listen to others, negotiate space, and respond more compassionately and less reflexively to others' feelings. This kind of gathering also tends to decrease distress and increase wellbeing. - sign up by emailing UCPS at incso@lehigh.edu or calling the counseling center 610-758-3880
