Beyond the Field

Mental health isn't something we should ever tackle alone. Whether it’s through a kind word, a shared experience, or simply being present, the connections we build can significantly impact our mental well-being. In the 2024 Beyond the Field address, Tiara Fennell, assistant professor in the School of Public Health and the Clinic Director for the Center for Healthy Families, shares how you can bring this into your daily life and create meaningful change for your own mental health and beyond.

Researchers at the University of Maryland are tackling the grand challenges of our time, from climate change to systemic racism to global health. Homecoming’s Beyond the Field lecture goes off the gridiron and into the classroom to showcase our faculty’s impactful work.
