Staff Assembly Executive Committee is excited to announce the launch of our new podcast series, "A Bulldog State of Mind." This series was inspired by the work of the Allegria Mental Health Task Force as a way to shine a light on the importance of engaging in conversations around mental health and wellness.

As staff and faculty at Fresno State, we each come to the university with a common purpose of supporting the students we serve. But we also come with unique lived experiences, identities and challenges that are just as much a part of us when we walk through the doors each day at work. Our hope is that this podcast provides a space for dialogue around how we can intentionally prioritize our mental health and well-being.

Our first episode of the podcast is available now via our YouTube channel and features our president — Dr. Saúl Jiménez-Sandoval. We invite you to listen or watch to explore ways that we can each take small steps to reduce stigma and create a sense of community and support at Fresno State.

A new episode of "A Bulldog State of Mind" will launch each month during our Red Friday celebrations. Subscribe to the podcast to be notified when a new episode is available.
