We know the past 13 months have been challenging for our students, especially when it comes to your mental health. The pandemic has exacerbated mental health struggles among young adults, with 1 in 4 people aged 18-24 contemplating suicide in 2020 as compared to 1 in 10 in 2018. This is a tragic statistic that SUNY is taking seriously and working to address. It is more critical than ever to provide mental health supports to our students — and you can be part of the solution.

Affected individuals have been informed and precautionary quarantine notices have been sent out. Case investigation and contact tracing will begin once reflex testing results are available.
