Volume 29, Issue 2 (May-June) explores themes of mental health, wellbeing, and vulnerability. While this is not the first time About Campus has highlighted mental health and wellbeing campus efforts, it is the first full issue of the magazine to solely focus on this topic. The three Features in this issue include an overview of the wellness needs of today’s college students, lessons on how college campuses can respond to collective trauma and move towards healing after crisis and recommendations for campus leaders in supporting the mental health needs of international students. The In Practice article discusses the need for integrating mindfulness-based practices on college campuses. The two Views from Campus articles illustrate the role of authenticity in student affairs and the importance of challenging norms around professionalism and demonstrate how one institution’s implementation of the Swedish cultural concept of fika led to increased collaboration and community building. The two Bottom Line articles interrogate participation myths and the commonplace practice of forced self-disclosure in the profession and share insights on what higher education can learn from K-12 system approaches to student wellness and care. The personal narratives and practices featured in this About Campus issue provide powerful insights in what we can do for ourselves, for others, and for our communities to create healthier spaces and places on our college campuses.
