In a recent episode of Inside Higher Ed's podcast, mental health experts discussed the critical challenges facing college students and staff during times of economic uncertainty and political division. Symptoms of anxiety and depression are rising among students, particularly at Lincoln University where many rely on Pell Grants. The experts stressed the importance of providing support systems, mindfulness practices, and resilience skills to empower students. Faculty and staff are also grappling with concerns over student loan repayment changes, highlighting the broader impact of financial issues on the college community.
"We've told our international students to stay here, stay on campus, just so we can avoid them not being able to return in the fall."
"Faculty and staff with student loan payments are worrying about salaries—are they going to make enough to cover these payments because of the changes to the student loan repayment plans?"
