As students return to campus, the NAMI chapter at UMB is excited to welcome new members to their executive board this fall with openings in many leadership positions. To apply, interested student leaders may complete a short survey.
The NAMI@UMB executive board aims to include members from all of the UMB professional schools in order to offer events that interest and bring together students across all of UMB's disciplines. The board meets once per month, usually in the evening, pending member availability. All members are encouraged to lead or participate in inclusive initiatives and events on campus that focus on student wellness, learning about living with psychiatric diagnoses, and the importance of interprofessional interactions in the lives of patients and clients living with mental illness. These events are often supported by the Counseling Center, URecFit and Wellness, NAMI Metro, the USGA, and other student organizations. The organization boasts a strong support system which it aims to expand with the addition of new members in the Fall of 2021.
