Assistant Director of Academic Success and Community Development, Aisha Lee, with Assistant Coordinators for Departmental Initiatives (ACDIs) Fernanda Martinez and Rosalie Oliver with host Belle Chavey discuss topics relating to what loneliness looks like on K-State’s campus, particularly in residence halls, and how that can impact mental and physical health.

This episode is a part of a four-episode series discussing topics inspired by K-State’s common read for the 2025-2026 academic year, Together, by Vivek H. Murthy, MD. By shedding light on how loneliness affects K-State students, we aim to raise awareness, offer comfort, and provide resources to our audience.
