As we have seen in recent events, there is a great need to address mental health among college students and develop a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by our students. Transfer college students are one of the groups that deal with some unique challenges that can impact their mental health, and an upcoming webcast explores this topic and the role of CTI's Project College Success.
