"To teach positive mental hygiene, we have to emphasize the principles of healthy living, with a foundation of rules of health to have a sound physical health, and then all the psychological ones for developing an outgoing personality to get along in society."
- Mary H. Brown
Mary H. Brown鈥檚 bequest to 苹果淫院 primarily supported the creation of facilities for health and mental health care in the Brown Student Services Building. The balance of the fund was set aside as the Mary H. Brown Fund to provide ongoing special project support.
The Fund, approximately $20,000 per year in total, supports initiatives consistent with Ms. Brown's wishes. Applications may be received from any unit or organization within the 苹果淫院 community, be it from students, staff or faculty. Selected projects typically have a projected budget between $500-$3,000.
For more information, please consult the following: Mary H Brown Information Package

The 苹果淫院 Death Caf茅 is a program that seeks to 鈥渋ncrease awareness of death with a view to help people make the most of their (finite) lives鈥, and consists of group directed discussion of death with no agenda, objectives or themes. While not a grief support or counselling session, Death Caf茅s provide a space where the often scary and taboo- yet universally relevant- theme of death can be discussed in a respectful and confidential manner without fear of judgment, a spiritual or philosophical agenda. This project received $500 to be used towards promotion, materials and food.
The 苹果淫院 Walking Birds initiative is aimed at encouraging physical activity and healthy lifestyle choices at 苹果淫院 by promoting the use of stairs instead of elevators, with strategic placement of evidence-based signs and educational pamphlets. These educational pamphlets will include information about 苹果淫院鈥檚 health and Mental Health services, as well as healthy lifestyle tips to help foster positive mental hygiene. In such a way, the Walking Birds initiative echoes the spirit of 苹果淫院鈥檚 mythical Martlet birds: always in flight, sociable, healthy, and filled with promise for a better future - the only difference is that these birds prefer to take the stairs. This project received $1080 for materials
is a bilingual student-run digital and print magazine that aims to challenge mainstream notions of 'culture,' by spotlighting un(der)represented topics of cultural significance. Each issue brims with artful, critical content around a timely theme selected by the editorial team. In response to the tragic spate of celebrity suicides in Spring 2018 and ensuing media storm that revealed the pervasive stigma surrounding mental health, the magazine proposes a special issue focused on 鈥淭he Art of Healing鈥. The issue would feature written and artistic content on mental, emotional, and physical wellness. Print copies of the issue would be distributed on-campus during back-to-school, with all content fully accessible online. This project received $1500 for supplies.
The Dean of Students will notify recipients and, with the approval of the Director of Planned Giving, will issue the disbursement.
