The Summit will allow staff and faculty to bring students up to date about the mental health landscape at UMBC with current data and a history of the university's mental health initiatives. It will also create space for student groups to connect and network with each other, help each group understand each other's missions and priorities, and allow us to establish a collective vision for mental health efforts on campus.
