Assessment and strategic planning around mental health and wellbeing took place in Year 1 of the JED Campus Program, from Spring 2024 through Fall 2025. The assessment process included a baseline assessment completed by key staff and faculty, student participation in the Healthy Minds Study with a 20% response rate, and a campus visit from staff from The JED Foundation. Assessment results then informed the College’s mental health and wellbeing strategic plan, which was finalized at the end of Fall 2025.

Years 2 and 3 are focused on implementing action items from the strategic plan.

Year 4 will focus on post-assessment, future goal setting, and program sustainability.

1. Communicate the story of the College’s efforts related to mental health and wellbeing
2. Build upon existing life skills and social-emotional programming
3. Expand mental health training programs for students, faculty, and staff
4. Strengthen suicide prevention efforts by improving the safety of physical spaces across campus and reducing access to lethal means
5. Finalize a college-wide “postvention plan” in cases of student death

Faculty, staff, and students are encouraged to get involved with the JED Campus Program! If interested in being part of this effort to improve mental health and wellbeing across campus, please email one of the program co-leads:
