Description
In this episode, we’ll be learning about the Perspectives Project, which was awarded a 2021-22 Wisconsin Idea Fellowships. Wisconsin Idea Fellowships (WIF) are awarded annually to UW–Madison undergraduate projects working to address issues identified by local or global communities.  Fellowships are awarded to semester-long or year-long projects designed by an undergraduate student or group of students in collaboration with a community organization and a UW faculty or staff member. The Perspectives Project will collaborate with the National Alliance on Mental Illness of Dane County to provide a culturally sensitive mental health workshop series and social media campaign specific to Asian Americans and people of color as a mental health resource at UW–Madison. Today, we are here with Amita Doiphode, Anusha Ray Dey and Vaishnavi Gundamraj, the founders of the project.
