Grad students hope to mentor undergrads and to participate more in efforts to provide support and encouragement to younger students on campus, this after the school was rocked by the suicides of two popular young men that occurred in May and June, within a month of each other. The school also has stepped up efforts to let students know about counseling and suicide prevention programs for them -- the institutional "safety net" -- and to remove any stigma they might feel about stress, depression, anxiety and other mental health issues they may experience at a campus, which, for good and ill, students say, is an intense place of extraordinary high-achievers and independent personalities.
