All undergraduate students are invited to a special event focused on the art of engaging in challenging discussions. The event features a panel discussion from experts in an informal "coffee shop" setting. This event is specifically tailored for students. Food and drinks provided!
During this conversation, panelists will discuss the mental health challenges and their implications for campus with an emphasis on being one’s own advocate and supporting members of our campus community living with mental health disabilities.
This event is sponsored by the Office of the Provost and hosted by Deputy Provost for Academic Strategic Initiatives Lee Thompson.
