MUM 'ChangeMakers' global webcast explores solutions to student stress - complete videos now online
Maharishi University of Management and David Lynch Foundation Translate This Article
21 February 2019
The second major ''ChangeMakers'' conference, hosted by Maharishi University of Management - USA and the David Lynch Foundation, was featured in a global webcast this month. In a desire to create a college environment that nourishes growth, ''Is College Bad for your Brain?'' convened a powerful panel of thought-leaders—neuroscientists, educators, psychologists and students—to explore the epidemic of stress that is overwhelming students, and what we can all do about it.
Click here to view complete videos of Parts 1 and 2 of the conference—including the closing Q & A with special guest, filmmaker David Lynch.
Learn more about the distinguished panelists, described as ''Disruptors Transforming the World for Good.''
The statistics are sobering. Three out of four students report feeling stressed. 39% of college freshman report symptoms of anxiety or depression. And there has been a 30% rise in mental health support requests.
Learn how key habits—sleep, exercise, diet and meditation—can help you neutralize the effects of college stress.
The event highlighted Maharishi University of Management—a university that is reversing this trend by placing stress-busting Transcendental Meditation at the core of its curriculum.
