The University of Mary Washington has earned a place on The Princeton Review’s Mental Health Services Honor Roll for 2027, joining just 76 colleges and universities nationwide – and only four in Virginia – recognized for their exceptional commitment to student mental health and well-being.

The distinction, announced Oct. 28, highlights institutions that prioritize student wellness through accessible mental health services, campus-wide support systems, and programs that promote a healthy college experience.  

At Mary Washington, that commitment is reflected in a range of initiatives that make mental health resources and support part of everyday campus life. The Princeton Review highlighted UMW’s peer educator internship program, residence hall wellness conversations, professional counseling services and campus-wide outreach efforts.

“Student input plays an important role in this recognition, and that makes me particularly proud,” said Juliette Landphair, UMW’s associate vice president for health and wellness. “Our students see our health services, particularly the Talley Center for Counseling Services and Student Health Center, as resources they can count on. As someone who works with these professionals every day and sees their commitment firsthand, I’m not at all surprised.”
