Our Story
In quick response to the growing need of mental health services on college campuses, USD has established the Mental Health Fund, making our student’s mental health a top priority with the help of administrative and departmental support. This support has allowed us to add several staff persons over the last five years, but with growth comes demand and with the largest incoming class in 2023, we are asking for you to invest in the mental health of the USD student population. A gift to this fund is a commitment to funding additional hours of counseling, access to campus events related to mental health promotion, access to continuing education for counseling staff and improved access to crisis care and online support services. Help us ensure that our students are supported in every aspect of their journeys at USD.
