Critical Conversation: "Mental Health of College Students"

Critical Conversations is a monthly series sponsored by the Office of the Provost in which a panel of experts thoughtfully engage in "Critical Conversations" about important cross-disciplinary and often controversial topics. Each panel will cover several themes within the topic. This is followed by a rich Q&A session with the audience. Deputy Provost for Academic Strategic Initiatives and professor of cognitive development Lee A. Thompson will serve as the moderator. 

Critical Conversations are open to ALL members of the CWRU community. Join us!
