Undergraduate Mental Health Committee

This committee is a student think tank and incubator for mental health initiatives on campus. Our initiatives are aimed at expanding mental health services, raising awareness of spiritual well-being, destigmatizing mental health, infusing mental health into the curriculum, promoting financial and academic well-being, and supporting the various mental health needs of students. We work closely with mental health departments on campus including the Center for Assessment, Referral, and Education (CARE), the Counseling Center, and Stamps Psychiatry, mental health student organizations, and other groups involved in mental health advocacy on and around campus.
