Racers Empower: Healthy Minds, Healthy Campus

Racers Empower: Healthy Minds, Healthy Campus is a collaborative effort by students, staff and faculty members of Murray State University to promote mental health and wellness on campus. Mental health, especially anxiety and depression, is a major concern on college campuses.
