2024 Bucky Awards

By Katherine Zimmerman, NAMI-UW President (2022-2024)

My sincere thanks to the UW Department of Student Affairs for hosting the 2024 Bucky Awards in addition to UW-Madison's University Health Services (UHS) and Recreation & Wellbeing (Rec Well) for co-sponsoring the Health and Wellbeing Award.
​
The NAMI-UW leadership team is extremely grateful and honored to be recognized for our efforts towards promoting health and well-being in the UW-Madison community through peer-to-peer support, advocacy, student leadership, and awareness of mental health resources.

Mental well-being is a fundamental aspect of overall health and addressing mental health challenges is essential for creating healthy lives. That is why NAMI-UW is committed to creating a community where students can build a sense of belonging, have access to and be knowledgeable about mental health resources, and learn skills that positively impact their mental health, in order to support their well-being and empower students beyond their college years.

In short, I am incredibly proud of what we've accomplished this year and of my fellow executive team members for finding creative and impactful ways to continue our student organization's mission and reaching future goals!
