3. Hello!Thank you for considering supporting our efforts to host the first
ever Ivy League-wide mental health conference. This conference
began with a simple idea: What if we could bring together some
of the best and brightest minds to tackle one of the biggest
problems currently facing our campuses, the country, and the
world as a whole?

4. Who are we?
We are a group of Penn students, who represent different
nationalities, cultures, viewpoints, and fields of study, yet
are united by our passion for mental health and wellbeing.
We believe that, given recent mental health-related
tragedies on Penn’s campus and others throughout the
country, action must be taken. This is that action.

8. State of the Ivy
League
What are the issues unique to being an Ivy League student? Each delegate will have
an opportunity to present the student perspective on the status of mental health on
their respective college campus. We aim to create a safe space for sharing
experiences and providing examples on how to maintain one’s mental well being,
while remaining a top achiever.

9. Cultural
Identity
Learn the benefits of embracing your cultural identity. Cultural identities can play a
large role in how we approach, discuss, and treat mental health. This workshop will
discuss how to view different cultural identities as an advantage in this context,
rather than an obstacle.
7Corporate Sponsor Guide

10. Gender and
Sexual Identity
This workshop will focus on how issues relating to gender and sexuality interact with
issues relating to mental health. We will discuss how to facilitate the creation of a
comfortable campus environment where people of all gender identifications can
collaborate with each other comfortably and thrive.

11. Substance
Abuse
Substance abuse is often tied to mental health issues. This workshop will discuss the
link between mental health and high-risk behaviors involving drugs and alcohol
abuse. In a judgment-free environment, we aim to clarify misconceptions and create
more active community leaders who will go back to their respective campuses with
new knowledge and perspectives on this sensitive topic.
9Corporate Sponsor Guide

12. Medical
Perspective on
Mental Health
Mental health often has a physiological component. We will focus on understanding
and treating mental health from a scientific perspective. We will address the
biological basis of psychopathologies and how they interact with our environment to
create or hinder mental maladies. We will take a positive-psychology approach to
provide research-based, practical solutions for on-campus mental health issues.
10Corporate Sponsor Guide

13. Expectations at
an Ivy League
The expectations at and demands of an elite institution will be discussed, with a
focus on the social and academic demands that come with being a student. In a
facilitated discussion, delegates will brainstorm practical ways to prioritize self-care
and wellness while keeping up with school-related pressures.
11Corporate Sponsor Guide

14. Changing Our
Campuses
Bringing implementable solutions and widespread cultural change to our respective
campus communities is no small task. We will discuss pragmatic strategies to: 1)
Start incoming students on a positive path to mental health, and 2) Change the
mentality of current students to one that prioritizes mental wellness.
12Corporate Sponsor Guide

15. Practicing
Mental Wellness
While there’s certainly a time and place for talking about mental wellness,
sometimes the best thing to do is to actively engage in activities that foster mental
health. In this workshop, attendees will learn the basics of yoga and meditation.
Refreshing fruit smoothies will provide a fun, positive conclusion to the workshop
and the conference.
