When the seasons change, so can your feelings.
As the temperature changes and daylight shifts, you may find yourself feeling sluggish, moody, or disinterested in your usual interests.
While this can be just a fleeting case of the “winter blues,” for some it’s a sign of seasonal affective disorder (sometimes abbreviated SAD). It is not unusual for students to feel this way, and may come as a surprise if you are accustomed to living in a sunnier and warmer climate, but you are not alone.
SAD lamps can (literally) brighten your day! SAD lamps like this one are used in light therapy and work by mimicking the intensity and effects of natural sunlight. So, if you want to literally brighten your day, take a seat, turn on the SAD lamp and hang out for a while!
Please meet Jerome, our 16” tall gnome. He greets you warmly from his orange stool as you enter the Student Development Office.
Dressed head to toe in Kalamazoo College logo attire, Jerome’s true passion lies in baking and sharing cookies with students. As the sweet aroma wafts through the hallway, he becomes a culinary wizard, creating delightful treats for the young minds excited to learn and grow. With an tiny apron and an infectious ‘gnome’ smile, Jerome turns every batch into a gesture of warmth and encouragement.
In this little corner of Student Development, Jerome becomes not just a gnome but a source of sweetness, making the college experience a little more delightful one cookie at a time.
Come hang with the gnomies and grab a piece of candy today for Halloween!

This day of community celebration is the result of a Community Council idea to recognize the amazing work that happens each and every day on this campus. Due to the nature of the work environment at Kalamazoo College, it has always been a challenge to find time to recognize and celebrate the accomplishments of one of the College’s most valued resources – its staff and faculty. Founder’s Day is a time to celebrate each of the faculty and staff and the years of service to Kalamazoo College.
This year’s Founder’s Day will be held on Friday, April 21st at 11:00 a.m. in the Chapel.
Please plan to join us!
