The coronavirus has taken a significant toll on many peopleâs mental health over the past year â specifically college-aged students â though universities are seeing less students seeking psychological services.
Penn Stateâs Center for Collegiate Mental Health released a five-part blog series spanning from February to March comparing the mental health of college students across the country before and during the pandemic.
One study found that with almost 50,000 students seeking services during the pandemic, only 33% of the students said their reason was related to the coronavirus.
In addition, CCMH found that there were 32% less students seeking treatment in fall 2020 compared to fall 2019.

Other offices in the building support core functions of the college, from financial aid and billing to transcripts and introductions to the alumni network.
“Students need different forms of support at different points in their college experience,” Ford said. “Bob and Sally Metzgar’s longtime giving has provided resources and promoted opportunities at every step in that journey. The college is deeply appreciative of their steadfast support.”
The Metzgars’ philanthropic support of the college and Penn State dates to 1972, when they first donated to the Levi Lamb Fund, which provides scholarships and other support to more than 800 varsity student-athletes.
