The contemporary college student holds many identities, one of those identities could align with religion. Two graduate students meet with two undergraduate student leaders of religious affiliated organizations to learn more about their organization’s role on campus and how religion has shaped their collegial student identity.

This podcast seeks to understand masculinity in the collegiate culture and its implications for mental health. The aim of this podcast is to shift the paradigm of what it means to be a man and to have perspectives of different stakeholders on a college campus. With the rise of mental health concerns including anxiety, depression, and suicide ideation, we recognize the connection masculinity may have on these areas of wellness for men. We will seek to understand the underlying roots of masculinity, how different masculine behaviors are socialized, and what the implications may be for men on college campuses.
