A weekly roundup of news and research on the health and wellness of young adults.

Mental and Behavioral Health

The National Alliance on Mental Illness On Campus (NAMI) at the University of Texas was recently launched to advocate for and support students struggling with mental illness. Student and member Alexis McDonald says the fact that NAMI On Campus is entirely student run makes it less intimidating to approach.

In an op-ed in the Cornell Sun, junior Faiza Ahmad calls for increased diversity in mental health services at the school, including socioeconomic, religious, racial diversity.

Diversity and Inclusion

Last week, Syracuse University fraternity, Theta Tau, was suspended from all activities and later expelled after videos surfaced that showed chapter members taking a racist oath, and making hostile comments toward gay people and people with disabilities. Kent Syverud, the University’s Chancellor, said individual students may also be subject to disciplinary action, including possible suspension and expulsion. Syverud has ordered a “top to bottom” review of the Greek system, explaining, “we know this issue extends beyond one fraternity and one video.”
