10 faculty members on campus are working to share information and resources and support our students. They:

  • Act as liaisons in their college to share information to connect students to resources that support their mental health.
  • Educate colleagues on the warning signs of mental health issues, how to have conversations with students and what resources are available to support them.
  • Lead events & create partnerships to help facilitate conversations among faculty, staff and students and raise awareness
  • Promote new and existing resources
  • Are the “go to” in their colleges and expand our reach
