This effort was initiated by nursing student Margaret Smith, NAMI president, and the following nursing students: vice president – Natalie Younce, secretary – Bradley Stewart, Treasurer – Zoe Ting, coordinator – Carlie Finley, and co-coordinator – Fifi Chujutalli.
NAMI on Campus is open to all students whether they have mental illness, or have a friend and/or family member with mental illness.

Our Goals:
