As a part of our inaugural Mental Health Awareness Month Campaign at Kent State University, the Kent State of Well-being partnered with several areas across campus to develop a Mental Health Champion Award. This award celebrates and honors current students, faculty and staff who went above and beyond to promote mental health and well-being at Kent State. The individuals, organizations or units nominated for the Mental Health Champion Award provided support, organized educational initiatives, or increased awareness of mental health and well-being.
The committee (made up of student, staff and faculty representatives from the Kent State of Well-being, the Center for Public Policy and Health, Counseling and Psychological Services, Kent State Athletics and Regional Campuses) has selected the following recipients of the award who will receive a cash prize to show our appreciation.
WINNERS:
- Carmen Grubbs – Administrative Secretary, Kent Student Center & Involvement
- Michelle Corvette – Assistant Director, Center for Teaching and Learning
- Jeremi Weidner – Academic Advisor II, Geauga Campus
- Erin Ahrens – Honors Coordinator II, Honors College
We are so grateful for all the winners and the additional nominees for their contribution to promoting mental health on our campus.
