Fall 2024: The Provost’s Ethics Colloquium on Mental Health in Higher Education
The focus of the 2024 Provost’s Ethics Colloquium was Mental Health in Higher Education, with a keynote address followed by a panel discussion with CSU faculty and staff.
Mental health is a foundation for student success and well-being. We must provide education to our faculty, staff, and students to help the entire community learn how to foster students’ mental health, how to recognize those who are suffering, and what to do every day to promote mental health in our community.
Dr. Katie Rose Guest Pryal, a nationally renowned speaker and author on mental health and neurodiversity, provided the keynote address: “A Light in the Tower: A Reckoning with Mental Health in Higher Education.” Her book of the same title, which is available as an e-book through the CSU Libraries, earned her the 2024 IPPY Bronze medal in Education.
