Stevens Earns National Recognition for Student Support and Mental Health Services
Two new honors recognize Stevens’ commitment to student well-being, prevention and a supportive campus environment
Stevens Institute of Technology has earned two national recognitions for its commitment to student well-being, mental health and success, reinforcing the university’s ongoing efforts to create a campus environment where students thrive, both academically and emotionally.
For the second year in a row, Stevens has been named to The Princeton Review’s 2027 Mental Health Services Honor Roll — one of only 76 national undergraduate institutions recognized for demonstrating a strong commitment to student mental health and well-being. The designation is part of an annual initiative conducted by The Princeton Review in partnership with the Ruderman Family Foundation, which works to reduce the stigma associated with mental health.
The recognition comes just months after The Princeton Review ranked Stevens No. 2 in the nation for Best Student Support and Counseling Services.
The 2027 selections were based on responses to The Princeton Review’s 2026 Campus Mental Health Services Survey, which gathered information from administrators at 739 colleges about counseling, mental health and wellness services, as well as 56,000 students across 300 colleges about their awareness of their school's mental health services. The initiative aims to identify gaps in campus resources and encourage institutions to make student well-being a priority.
Stevens has also earned the 2026 Campus Prevention Network (CPN) Seal of Prevention™, awarded by Vector Solutions to institutions demonstrating a commitment to evidence-based programming that supports student success and well-being.
The seal validates Stevens’ strategic investment in research-backed programming addressing sexual assault and relationship violence prevention, mental health support, substance use education and community building. Nationally, institutions receiving the seal demonstrate measurably stronger outcomes, with an average 8.5% higher first-year retention rate and 9.3% higher on-time graduation rate compared to non-seal institutions. Only 12% of institutions and organizations nationwide earn this distinction.
“At Stevens, we are dedicated to fostering a sense of community and creating pathways for each student to find their place within our campus environment," said Sara Klein, vice president for student affairs. "These recognitions reflects a coordinated effort by staff to facilitate a shared campus culture among students, staff and faculty that prioritizes safety, well-being, inclusion and ultimately achieves student success.”
Stevens' approach to student wellness combines prevention and education with robust on-campus resources, peer support networks and campus-wide training for faculty and staff to identify and assist students in distress. The university's comprehensive Counseling and Psychological Services offers multilingual counselors, telehealth options, walk-in appointments and a 24/7 call center, ensuring students have multiple pathways to support.
“We strive to ensure that every student knows where to turn for support and has access to the resources they need to navigate the challenges of being a college student and to ultimately thrive socially and academically,” said Klein.
