<br>Recent statistics show that nearly half of all college students have been so depressed in the past year that they have been unable to function; in an effort to bring light to and combat startling statistics like this thatpoint to rising levels of depression and suicide amongst college students, we ask that you as student leaders <b style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255)">join us in the movement</b> to reflect on what makes you happy and incorporate these activities into your life.<br>
<br>"BestDay of Your Life" is an initiative coordinated by students who recognize that there is a critical need for change in today's mindset about depression.<br><br>From 8am-4pm you will see a student led campaign across campus with activities such as a "high-five movement", DJ stations across campus, a nice cream truck, "swag" mobiles surprising students with free gifts,a giant rubber duck on the oval, and messages chalked across campus challenging students to consider what makes them happy... among many other surprises! </div>
