Tackling Mental Health Issues on Campus

November 03, 2022Melissa W.

Last week we talked about the rise in mental health challenges in higher education, specifically on college campuses. With 14% of college students saying they dropped out of college due to mental health issues, the need for help is there. However, tackling the issue is more complex than just offering more counselors and encouraging students to make appointments for 1:1 help. Because of this, campus administrators are starting to find more unique ways to reach students who may be struggling.

Mental Health Issues for University Students on the Rise

October 28, 2022Melissa W.

It’s no surprise that the stress of obtaining a higher education takes a toll on a person’s mental health, which in turn can affect every facet of their life. Colleges and universities across the country have been grappling with ways to tackle the concern for decades, but the recent weight of the Covid-19 pandemic, a spike in social injustices and violence (specifically in school settings), and the crippling and growing cost of tuition, has compounded the issue, making way for what is now considered a mental health crisis in higher education. As we start to dig out of the pandemic haze, colleges and universities are diving deeper into how to address the mental health and wellness of their students.

In Honor of All the Queen's Horses: Top US Equestrian Colleges

September 19, 2022Melissa W.

Queen Elizabeth II was laid to rest today after over 70 years on the throne. It's no secret that she had a deep love of horses and it's been reported that she owned over 100 of them in her lifetime! Her first horse was a Shetland pony given to her when she was just 4 years old and she continued to regularly ride up until she was 95, only stopping because of doctor's orders due to her mobility issues. While she received private lessons in the UK growing up, there are several colleges and universities in the US with an equine science option. That's right; a degree in horses, and it's more than just riding.

The Education of The Late Queen Elizabeth II

September 09, 2022Melissa W.1 comment

Queen Elizabeth II died yesterday at Balmoral Castle surrounded by the Royal Family at the age of 96 after a record 70 years on the throne. She wasn’t meant to be Queen when she was born in 1926, but became next in line after her uncle, King Edward VIII, abdicated in 1936, making her father the King. While she undoubtedly lived a very privileged life within the confines of Buckingham Palace, the future Queen needed to be educated to prepare her for her role in the Monarchy.
