While applying to Cornell, I was determined to join the university’s mental health initiatives and help reinforce an atmosphere that is conscious of student wellbeing. EARS stood out to me as one whose mission met Cornell students’ needs the most.

When I need connection, assistance, and community on campus, EARS is always there for me. I joined EARS to support mental health on campus, but I didn't know I needed to join EARS for myself. EARS became one of my homes on campus, and I'm grateful for this community.

The informal peer-to-peer mentoring aspect struck me as a unique and valuable resource, and the EARS community is wonderful.

I thought that this was a great way to connect with people on campus and help those that might just need someone to talk to.

Everyone that I met from EARS, particularly from training, were so welcoming and open that I felt at home from my first semester! Join EARS

I joined EARS because I wanted to be a part of a welcoming and supportive community that values everyone's well-being.

I love being a part of such a supportive community that shares the goal of improving mental health on campus!

I am proud to be a part of an organization with amazing resources and opportunities for the Cornell community. I love that I am able to help others!

EARS is a unique and amazing community where I’ve been able to feel very included, validated, and comfortable to express my thoughts! The positive impacts I have seen EARS have on others makes the organization truly inspirational!

I joined EARS because I wanted to connect with others and help establish a supportive community at Cornell! I'm so grateful to be a part of such a wonderful organization and to have learned so much through this experience!

EARS furthers a cause I deeply believe in, and developing skills to better support my peers has been a highly rewarding way to invest in that cause
