COLLEGE STUDENTS
CONNECTING FOR CHANGE

"There are so many things that could have gone differently with my story, so many opportunities for a different path if there had been a clear, on-campus pathway to mental healthcare for any student."

"While I was enrolled, my outstanding tuition balance prevented me from using campus resources such as the food court or the bus system. I struggled to pay my rent, pay for groceries, or pay for medical expenses with a job that only paid minimum wage. I remember staring blankly in my kitchen, calculating how I would survive on only frozen food."

"Whatever you're passionate about, whatever you care about, whatever you like - let that shine. Because when you let that shine, others around you see that. And that will attract the right people."
