The Jed Foundation Announces First Class of JedCampus Seal Recipients
We are honored to announce the inaugural colleges and universities awarded the JedCampus Seal. The Seal recognizes schools that exhibit comprehensive mental health promotion and suicide prevention programming. The Seal—valid for two years— is part of the Foundation’s JedCampus program, the first nationwide program to facilitate a school’s ability to assess and enhance their mental health support system from a campus-wide perspective.
The schools that have received the JedCampus Seal are:
Alfred University
Barnard College
Boston University
Brandeis University
Columbia University
Cornell University
Emory University
Fordham University
Georgetown University
Luther College
Marymount Manhattan College
Monmouth University
New York University
The Ohio State University
Pace University
Pennsylvania State University, Altoona
School of the Art Institute of Chicago
Stevens Institute of Technology
Texas State University
Three Rivers Community College
Tulane University
University at Albany, State University of New York
University of Kentucky
University of Southern California
University of the Sciences
University of West Georgia
University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Worcester Polytechnic Institute
Yeshiva University
Yale University
“We are thrilled to be able to announce the first schools in the nation to receive the JedCampus Seal. These schools have shown they employ a comprehensive, community-based approach to mental health care which will result in the identification and care of more at-risk students,” said John MacPhee, Executive Director of The Jed Foundation. “We believe that the implementation of a campus-wide approach to mental health promotion will lead to safer, healthier campuses, and possibly greater student retention.”
The Jed Foundation only publicly recognizes those schools awarded the Seal. The names of participating schools that do not receive the JedCampus Seal are kept confidential. The Jed Foundation provides customized suggestions for enhancements, which can become a road map for assisting schools in creating a comprehensive emotional health program on their campus.
Please join us in congratulating these schools for the excellent work they are doing to support the emotional wellbeing of their campuses.

It's nice to see Duke do well considering this is an international ranking. (up 5 spots from last year I think. The top 15 are essentially the same schools slightly reshulfed, with marginal gains. (e.g. +1 UCLA, +1 Berkeley.)
Work on it, Hoyas.
Not sure about here but UCLA is probably overrated in the USN engineering ranking. They significantly overstated (like 2 or 3x) their NAE number. Maybe alums like beyphy can write them a letter.
I guess. Most of those universities are peers imo, but w/e. UCLA is absolutely beastly in health sciences, including its hospital, and it doesn't do too bad in a lot of graduate programs either. (As evidenced by this ranking.)
Furthermore, some people like to point out that schools like Berkeley trump UCLA in reputation, but neglect to mention that this hardly makes a difference in the ranking as a whole (e.g. Berkeley has 89.8 points; UCLA has 86.3)

Lol, even if those numbers are overrated, UCLA is hardly the only university to exaggerate some figure to improve its ranking (e.g. student to faculty ratios.)
Work on it, Hoyas.
Look away from the sour reject Jimmy, not all of us have to be condemned to Backup College.
JHU is best known for Medicine. But it's very well ranked ranked in Education, Bio, chemistry, Physics, History, Public health, engineering (most of its engineering fields are within the top 20 or top 15), international relations, english, economics and statistics. Several of the prior mentioned fields are ranked among the top 10 or top 5.
http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandreviews.com/best-colleges/johns-hopkins-university-162928/overall-rankings
Even without medicine, JHU would more than hold its own against other schools on that list.
Are you pulling these statements out of thin air?
UCLA's medical school isn't the only health science it does well in. UCLA's hospital ranks 5th in the nation. It also has the best hospital on the west coast, a position it's had for nearly 30 years.
It's dental school is also among the best in the nation, and its medical school will likely increase significantly in quality due to Geffen's 100m donation for scholarships.
Sure, UTA and UCLA may not be much different in graduate programs, but there are a number of other programs universities can have other than just graduate programs. I imagine that health sciences generate a ton of research, and this is what gives UCLA an edge in the THE ranking.
Furthermore, UCLA is in the second tier of universities (also includes Princeton, TokyoU, and Yale) with strong reputations, which certainly gives it a boost within the ranking. UCLA's reputation scores it 35 points; Austin reputation gives it around 11 points.
I always agree with what he says...he makes such logical arguments.
Ut-Austin will have their own med school in several years thanks to Mr. Dell.
Berkeley's is still across the Bay.
UCLA has absolutely no renowned majors. It may be known for film, but USC and NYU trump that.
That's funny, I don't see "University of CaliforniaBerkeley" in either of these lists for best/top medical schools.
Best Medical Schools | Research Rankings | Top Medical Schools for Research | US News Best Graduate Schools
Best Medical Schools | Primary Care Rankings | Top Medical Schools for Primary Care | US News Best Graduate Schools
This leads us to one of two conclusions:
1) Berkeley has no medical school or
2) Berkeley's medical school is not a best/top medical school.
Either conclusion is fine by me
