College student mental health and well-being is a priority across the United States because of the growing demand and increasing severity of mental health concerns (i.e., rising anxiety, depression, and suicidality) on campus. Many college and university counseling centers have waiting lists and struggle to meet the needs of all students. Additionally, many students are struggling but not reaching out for help. These challenges have led to innovation and re-imagining the most effective ways to meet the mental health needs of college students. Student affair professionals are well-positioned to play an important role in addressing this campus challenge because of their extensive contact and relationships with students.

In higher education, we have been engaging in incomplete and short-sighted conversations about race and racism for decades. Many campuses have been discussing how to combat racism as if that is the final goal or destination. Never do we discuss what happens next or how to center racial healing or liberation in our work.
