Project Wellness President Jose Llanes, faculty co-advisors to Project Wellness Ursula Kamanga (Honors; Communication Studies) and Daniel Bubb (Honors; Academic Affairs), the Project Wellness Executive Board, and the Project Wellness Planning Board published an article in The Beacon, a newsletter distributed to colleges and universities that are accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (including UNLV).
The article discusses the evolution of Project Wellness, a registered student organization at UNLV that addresses mental health challenges students at UNLV and other colleges and universities across the country encounter. The article includes Project Wellness' mission, which is to help UNLV provide a campus environment where students can feel comfortable discussing mental health issues without feeling intimidated or judged; eliminating the stigma associated with mental health; and helping UNLV students know that they are not alone in their challenges with mental health.
