From Student to President: A Full-Circle Conversation on Mental Health

Watch this month’s special episode of “Enlighten U,” as we sit down with Dr. Brendan Kelly, Eastern Michigan University’s newest president and a proud EMU alum. In this candid and wide-ranging conversation, we discuss the importance of being a student-centered president, well-being, and what it’s like to leave the university as a student and return as its president. Dr. Kelly shares his perspective on how universities can support the whole student --academically, emotionally and socially. He also discusses the growing mental health needs of today’s college students and the importance of creating a campus culture where every student feels seen, supported and valued.
