The Active Minds Healthy Campus Award recognizes and celebrates U.S. colleges and universities that are promoting student mental health and creating a campus culture of wellbeing. For the past several years, NIRSA has been proud to support this honor by providing members with the opportunity to serve as judges. This work with Active Minds provides NIRSA yet another route to celebrate integrated wellbeing on campus, including innovative ways to change the conversation about mental health.
This year’s NIRSA representative to the Active Minds review panel was April Lovett, Florida State University, who has been active in promoting wellbeing on her campus, within the Association, and beyond.
