Buck the Stigma is back this fall, and the campus community is invited to a week of wellness and holistic mental health resources.
An annual event established by ASI Student Government and Peers Understanding Listening Supporting Educating (PULSE) and supported by Cal Poly’s Campus Health and Wellbeing, this year’s Buck the Stigma event will feature several days of wellness, reflection, and reconnection initiatives in an effort to reduce the stigmas around mental health. Spanning Oct. 10–14, Buck the Stigma 2022 will focus on holistic mental health, promise tons of thoughtful engaging content, and feature our 24th Annual Mark S. Reuling Annual Volleyball Tournament presented by ASI Intramural Sports.
