How are colleges and universities in our region responding to growing concerns about student mental health?

It's a question we explore during this special "Connections on the Road" broadcast, live at The Little Theatre on October 22.

Higher education institutions across the county have established new programs, services, and — in some cases — new grading and evaluation criteria to address students' mental health needs. WXXI has gathered data from more than 20 colleges and universities in the Rochester and Finger Lakes region in order to better understand how they are supporting students.

During this special broadcast, college and university leaders and a local student discuss what works, where they see gaps, and what students say they need.

"Connections" is Rochester's public square — a place where your voice can be heard. Please join our live audience. Read more and register here.
