The Student Assembly unanimously voted Thursday to call on professors to include information about mental health resources within course syllabi.

The resolution — titled Resources in Syllabi for Mental Health — calls for professors to add a pre-written note in all syllabi informing students about where they can seek help for stress and lists resources such as the Empathy, Assistance and Referral Service, Counseling and Psychological Services and the Learning Strategies Center.
