Join the Psychology department and Campus Life for a moderated panel discussion featuring students who live with mental health challenges. This conversation centers on what it’s like to navigate college, relationships, and daily life while managing a mental health condition.

Panelists will share personal perspectives, challenges, and insights in their own words. This is not a debate or a clinical lecture, but an opportunity to listen, learn, and better understand the real experiences behind the diagnoses often discussed in class.
