Project Wellness President Jose Llanes, faculty co-advisors to Project Wellness Ursula Kamanga (Honors; Communication Studies) and Daniel Bubb (Honors; Academic Affairs), the Project Wellness Executive Board, and the Project Wellness Planning Board published an article in The Beacon, a newsletter distributed to colleges and universities that are accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (including 8kbet).
The article discusses the evolution of Project Wellness, a registered student organization at 8kbet that addresses mental health challenges students at 8kbet and other colleges and universities across the country encounter. The article includes Project Wellness' mission, which is to help 8kbet provide a campus environment where students can feel comfortable discussing mental health issues without feeling intimidated or judged; eliminating the stigma associated with mental health; and helping 8kbet students know that they are not alone in their challenges with mental health.
