The Center offers wellbeing resources for students that support mental health and wellbeing, and President Gabel's commitment to improve student mental health across the UMN system.
The Center is pleased to partner with RSP Architects in raising funds to support student mental health. RSP Architects counts on the wellbeing of our students as future leaders and contributors to the community. In their commitment to this cause, they have generously donated $5,000 to our $25,000 goal.
