Central named to Princeton Review Mental Health Honor Roll

 The Princeton Review has named Central Connecticut State University to its third annual Mental Health Services Honor Roll for 2027. Central is one of only two Connecticut schools and 76 schools nationwide to receive this designation.

The Honor Roll recognition is part of an annual project that The Princeton Review conducts in partnership with the Ruderman Family Foundation, an internationally recognized organization that works to end the stigma associated with mental health. 

Schools that earn the Honor Roll designation are those that demonstrate a strong commitment to their students' mental health and well-being. The selections for 2027 were based on data from The Princeton Review’s 2026 Campus Mental Health Survey, which asked administrators at 739 colleges 77 questions about their school's counseling, mental health, and wellness services for students. The Princeton Review also surveyed 56,000 students across 300 colleges about their awareness of their school's mental health services. 

"This distinction is very important, because we want every student to know that they belong here, that they have a community behind them, and that support is available when they need it,” says Central interim President Kimberly T. Kostelis. “This recognition reflects the work of our faculty and staff and Central’s overall commitment to creating a campus environment where students feel supported, valued, and empowered to reach their full potential.”

The Princeton Review Mental Health Services Honor Roll list for 2027 is posted on the Princeton Review’s website. View the criteria for Honor Roll designation at https://www.princetonreview.com/mental-health-on-college-campus/methodology/. 

The Princeton Review project also works to promote awareness of campus mental health services among college applicants and students attending colleges. The company reports information about the surveyed school's mental health services in its profiles of the schools on PrincetonReview.com as well as in its annual Best Colleges guidebook.
