Propeller Project
The Propeller Project is a mental health awareness and suicide prevention campaign at Newman University. The goal is to educate the NU community about campus support and services. Members of the Propeller Project are certified in mental health first aid and are knowledgeable of professional services and resources available to students, staff, and faculty. NU community members that have a propeller sign outside their office door, on their email signature, or a propeller button, have committed to listening without judgement and guiding individuals toward the help they need.
