By partnering with the Office of Undergraduate Admissions, the mission and purpose is shared with prospective students and families even before they have committed to attend. Print materials and the tour guide staff incorporate our messaging into campus visits. Health and wellness are top priorities for ßÙßÇÂþ»­ University.

CSA Farm Share: Russell Farms

Our on-campus CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) Farm Share offerings began in 2019. ßÙßÇÂþ»­ has partnered with Russel Farms for the last several years. Since 1984, Russell Farms has been providing premier local produce to the Endless Mountain Region and expanding to the Southern Tier of New York. Russell Farms serves local restaurants, schools and businesses with fresh local produce and other specialty items each season. The produce you receive from Russell Farms CSA is picked off the farm the day before you receive it. Because they have been farming for over 20 years, Russell's has established great connections with highly skilled local farmers who they collaborate with. This allows for a more extensive variety of local fruits and veggies throughout the season. Russell Farms also is the only CSA in the area that includes specialty items in their weekly shares. They have a full service scratch bakery in Montrose producing homemade baked goods, snack and trail mixes as well as include local cheese, farm fresh cage free brown eggs and more!

Mental Health First Aid

Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) teaches individuals how to identify, understand and respond to signs of mental illnesses and substance use disorders. We train lay or "ordinary people" to be more prepared to assess for risk of suicide or harm, listen nonjudgementally, give reassurance and resources, encourage appropriate professional services, and encourage self help and support strategies. Everyone in regular contact with students has an important role in the effort to foster student well-being, in helping to protect students from developing mental health issues and in helping student access services that they would benefit from.

MHFA training is a sustainable, collaborative, skill-building approach to changing the overall health culture of our campus and positively impacting the student mental health epidemic. Several classes are taught each semester and use a blended learning format, including pre-course work and 6-8 hours of in-person training.
