Some have expressed support for Penn taking steps to support more mental health support, and others pushed back on the idea of singling out Wharton over the other undergraduate schools.

This is the first time undergraduate students will have access to mental health care directly within their school, but there are currently no plans to station a clinician in any other undergraduate school, CAPS Deputy Executive Director Meeta Kumar said.

In the wake of Bill Alexander's absence, CAPS Deputy Executive Director Meeta Kumar has implemented several new initiatives in his noticeable absence.

Representatives from several University Council subcommittees also came for this meeting, including the Campus and Community Life Committee, Academic and Related Affairs Committee. 

Krone and Andrews said they aim to distribute “SEPTA Welcome Kits” containing maps of public transit routes around the city and a preloaded SEPTA key to every student who moves on campus at the beginning of the school year. 

While Xu and Shah made steps in tackling mental health, other initiatives like reducing the cost of tuition and increasing space for student performing groups were not as successful. 

Krone and Andrews ran on the platform of improving mental wellness, transparency, inclusivity, accessibility, and community engagement. 

At the first Campus Conversation, President Gutmann and Provost Pritchett sat on the panel, but Monday, Pritchett sat in the first row as an audience member, and Gutmann was not present.

Vice Provost of University Life Valarie Swain Cade-McCoullum announced Rose's retirement to VPUL directors on March 13, writing that 'Pat is a Penn pioneer in an iconic position.'

"Exploring your passion not only benefits your academic work but also helps improve your mental health,” Wharton freshman and member of Passion Projects committee Gabriel Sokoloff said.
