Seniors at PSU endow mental health services

As do most universities, seniors at Penn State give a class gift, chosen from a short list (that is based on idea submissions to a student/faculty committee).

Since we’ve talked about student mental health so much lately, I thought this was an awesome gift: the 2016 seniors have endowed the mental health clinic, so it will not be subject to the vagaries of state funding:

(yes, I know – Penn State should be fully funding it instead of something else. Subject of much conversation here)

I’m very proud of these students. now if we can get people who need help to get that help!

p.s. if we can also get rid of the ignorant mentality …people need to suck it up…toughen up…get over it etc…
