Taking learning beyond the classroom in Advising and Supporting 🧠

During a two-week span in April, students dove into college student mental health through hands-on, creative work. From researching key issues and showcasing them in a Mental Health Issues Gallery, to designing interactive board games that promote positive support-seeking behaviors, this class is all about turning ideas into impact.
