Mental Health Association
The Mental Health Association strives to promote mental health awareness among our students and faculty by providing helpful tips and resources. Our Association is focused on encouraging students to prioritize their mental health for while they are in school and for their legal career. By reducing the stigma of mental illnesses and providing these resources, we hope that the next generation of lawyers will be better equipped to manage their mental health.

Fundraising for Six Feet Over
We have been raising funds for a local non-profit, Six Feet Over, that helps promote suicide awareness and has a financial aid system in place that helps people who have been affected by suicide.
