The Health and Well-Being Collective, formerly the JED Campus Health and Well-Being Committee, received the Coalition of the Year award from the Missouri Suicide Prevention Network at the 2025 Missouri Suicide Prevention Conference on Thursday, July 17. Jessica Gargus, assistant vice chancellor of student health and well-being and committee chair, accepted the award.

The collective champions student success by promoting well-being and belonging through collaboration, education, advocacy, and collective action. It is comprised of stakeholders across campus, because promoting well-being is a shared responsibility that belongs to every member of our community.

The committee, recognized as a Missouri Suicide Prevention Community Coalition through member participation in the Missouri Suicide Prevention Coalition Academy, promotes campuswide suicide prevention and well-being initiatives. Stephanie Murray-Miller, manager of health promotion and prevention, represents S&T on the Missouri Suicide Prevention Network.
