More more students are coming to GVSU with a variety of mental health challenges and learning differences. Students trying to navigate and succeed in college while managing those challenges need support. Moreover, recent adaptations required to stay healthy during the COVID-19 pandemic have increased student anxiety and depression levels.  Last year, the Pew FTLC sponsored two sessions in our Minds That Matter series which focused on assisting students when these issues are a barrier to learning in the classroom.

Mind That Matter, a Pew FTLC Series, launched in Winter 2020 and offered faculty a chance to explore the nature of these issues more deeply and identify teaching strategies and course design, largely based on universal design for learning (UDL), that can increase student success. Topics were offered on both Anxiety and Depression and featured a panel presentation and discussion from faculty experts.

We are pleased to offer online access to these previously recorded sessions to all GVSU Faculty.  Click the links below to view the session of interest as well as access any handouts/materials associated with that session.
