Student Engineers’ Council Tackles Mental Health Crisis, Provides Free Coffee
According to recent statistics published by the A.P. Beutel Health Center, over 63% of the students that come in for mental health care are from the College of Engineering. The Student Engineers’ Council (SEC), an exclusive and prodigious organization, has pounced on the opportunity to truly represent student concerns surrounding the issue through a newly-created task force.
The task force has been formed with the goal of discussing the issues for hours in lengthy meetings and allowing council members to add their participation to their already lengthy resumes. With many students unable to secure internships for the summer, this action certainly benefits the mental health of the task force members.
Outside of this task force, the SEC has demonstrated its commitment to bettering the mental health of engineering students by organizing various events for the week of April 5th, including free fitness classes over Zoom and opening a tab for engineering students to obtain a free coffee from a local venue in Bryan. A one-cup limit was imposed on the free coffee promotion, both to serve student health and to preserve the SEC budget. This singular week of student-centric activities is the culmination of years of planning and funding from student dues.
The SEC hopes that every student, particularly its own members, can benefit from their insightful leadership.

If you have ever heard the loud, operatic singing filling your dorm’s halls that makes you want to ram your head into a wall, then you’ve definitely heard Do Rev Mi practicing. This singer was assigned the important task of singing Reveille her nightly lullabies to make sure she has a paw-fect night of sleep. Otherwise, she might try and bite someone, and we wouldn’t want that, right?
