Panelists will include professionals with mental health and student affairs backgrounds.

This program is offered in partnership by ACUHO-I & NIRSA.

** Our virtual roundtables begin with brief introductory remarks by our panelists, and then the opportunity for attendees to actively engage in the program by making comments and asking questions in real-time. This roundtable is designed to be discussion-based.
