Schedule
Want to get involved in Active Minds? Come to a meeting!
Please Note:Our Spring 2010 schedule is still being determined! Please check back in the next week or two for our new schedule.
Fall 2009 Meetings: These meetings are open to
the public, including old and new members of Active Minds. Our social
meetings are led by officers or interested Active Minds members and are a chance
for all students to get together and learn about/discuss specific and general
mental health issues. They're a fun way to get involved. We offer great
information, treats, free stuff, movie clips, and great discussion! Meetings
last approximately an hour.
MEETINGS ARE HELD IN ROOM 203 OF COFFMAN MEMORIAL UNION (the DSCC) UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED.

Understanding Perspectives: Mental Health Through
Art
Definitely a learn-by-doing experience! If you like to
express your feelings with art, you'll fit right in. (If not, that's okay
too!) Pulling from our experience with students artists from the Awake Art exhibit (see our events page for more information about Awake),
we will work together to see how we can visualize mental health. Meeting @ Bordertown Coffeehouse (see bottom of page for map from Coffman).

What's the status of the
