Mental health and wellness matters. Buck the Stigma returns this fall, extending an invitation to the entire campus community to partake in a two-week long series of wellness events and holistic mental health resources.
Buck the Stigma is an annual event established by ASI Student Government and PULSE and supported by Cal Poly’s Campus Health and Wellbeing. This year will feature wellness, reflection, and reconnection initiatives in an effort to reduce the stigmas around mental health. From Oct. 17–28, Buck the Stigma 2024 will focus on holistic mental health, thoughtful content and connection, and feature the 26th Annual Mark S. Reuling Annual Volleyball Tournament presented by ASI Intramural Sports.
