Event Details

In October 2022, 601 (~30%) Macalester students participated in the Healthy Minds Survey, a national survey that emcompasses a variety of topics, including attitudes and behaviors related to mental health on campus, substance use, and subjects such as community and academics.  With the close collaboration of Institutional Research & Assessment, Jen Jacobsen (Executive Director of Health & Wellness), Tiger Simpson (Director of Health Promotion & Sexual Respect) and Audrey Seligman '17 (Health Promotion Specialist) investigated relationships between these areas, including through the lens of demographics.  As with any good quantitative survey, the data provides a launching point for further questions and vibrant discussion. We invite you to participate on Friday, December 1 from 12:00-1:00 PM in the DeWitt Wallace Library, suite 309 in making meaning of what we've learned and in developing strategies for how to use this information to further support our students' well-being. All faculty and staff are welcome. Lunch will be provided.
