Dear Colleagues,

 

I am excited to let you know about our upcoming inaugural Faculty of Arts & Science “Minds Redefined” Mental Health & Wellness Conference. The conference is open to students, faculty, and staff, and aims to foster dialogue about mental health within Arts & Science. I am asking for your personal assistance to help promote this opportunity and to encourage students and your colleagues to attend if they are able to do so.

 

At the conference, we will hear from mental health experts and advocates, develop skills to promote our well-being, explore campus and community resources, and engage in rich discussions that showcase research, lived experiences, and diverse voices.

 

As leaders, faculty and advisors, we have an important role to play in promoting mental well-being in our community. I hope you assist in promoting the conference and/or will attend, for the full conference or just a few sessions. Here are the details.
