A key component of the institute’s work will be a partnership with the university’s division of student affairs. This collaboration will enable researchers to gain a deeper understanding of the mental health challenges experienced by Northwestern students. In turn, student affairs staff will have access to the latest insights and findings to help implement new programming services.

Northwestern President Michael Schill said, “Conducting research that leads to better health outcomes and caring for the well-being of our students are two of our university’s most important priorities.” He added, “This transformative gift will enable us to further both of these vital pursuits, driving new discoveries that support the needs of our students and young people globally.”
