MARQUETTE, MI— Insight Into Academia magazine has given Northern Michigan University its 2026 Excellence in Mental Health and Well-Being Award.
The honor recognizes an institution’s programs and initiatives that significantly advance core values of student and employee mental health and well-being.
Doctor Angela Stebbins is assistant vice president for Holistic Wellbeing at NMU. She says by signing the Okanagan Charter the university confirmed its commitment to embedding health and well-being into campus culture and leading health promotion through collaboration.
The magazine selected NMU because well-being has been made a campus-wide priority. Multiple departments and campus partners collaborate to support an initiative that promotes the well-being of students, faculty, and staff.
Northern will be featured, along with 37 other recipients, in the September 2026 issue of Insight Into Academia magazine.
