You have shown resilience and focus, and now it is time to recharge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-c0966681dc2cbaf492e0a7c8b3220193\">Whether your plans include travel or time in familiar places, I encourage you to build in moments that feels special. Reconnect with family and friends. Explore something new, sign up for an experience you have been curious about or simply enjoy a day without a schedule. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-f8743ed9c6fc5f2bb5ba6891756e5e9f\">Break is more than a pause \u2014 it is a chance to reset your momentum. Rest, reflect on how far you have come and return ready for the opportunities waiting for you this spring. One of those is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.purdue.edu\/parentandfamily\/Programs_and_Events\/Spring_Family_Weekend.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Spring Family Weekend<\/a>, happening April 17-19, with events at both Indianapolis and West Lafayette.
