ASU Wins Grant for Student Mental Health Research
July 26, 2022

Angelo State University has been awarded a $113,292 grant from the Trellis Foundation to fund a research and education project on mental health and wellbeing for college students in general, and ASU students in particular.
Supported by the grant, the investigators will engage in a comprehensive study of ASU students’ health and wellbeing, including completion of the National College Health Assessment. Based on their research results, they will then develop and implement a series of educational and outreach programs to help address student needs and improve the overall mental health and wellbeing of the campus community.
In addition to Curtis, the co-PIs for the project are:
- Dr. Leslie Kelley – Assistant Professor of Psychology
- Dr. Dinah Cummings – Associate Professor of Health Science Professions
- Mark Rehm – Director of ASU Counseling Services
By involving faculty and staff from several departments, the project will represent a multi-disciplinary, multi-divisional response to the mental health needs of ASU students.
