In the setting of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Consortium can be your resource for helping students psychologically through an uncertain time and can serve as a supportive community for you and your colleagues. As a virtual program, the Consortium will continue to operate in full in the 2020-2021 year.

Consortium membership includes:

• Monthly lecture-discussions – sample topics have included cultural assimilation, cross-cultural approaches to depression and anxiety, and COVID-19-related topics (such as rising stigma toward individuals of Asian descent, travel challenges for international students, and supporting campus staff)

• Confidential case discussion between your staff and our clinicians

• Longitudinal contact with our clinicians and other Consortium members

• Unrestricted access to our Center’s materials, including fact sheets and videos

• Exclusive partnership opportunities with our Center
