The University of Nebraska College of Law has received the 2025 Excellence in Mental Health and Well-Being Award from Insight Into Academia magazine. This award is a measure of an institution’s work to advance the core values of inclusive excellence and belonging through programs, initiatives, and many other campus priorities. Institutions receiving this recognition have committed to the integration of mental health initiatives, including accessible services, peer support, emotional resilience, and proactive policy.
Nebraska Law will be featured, along with 70 other recipients, in the September 2025 issue of Insight Into Academia magazine.
“We are proud to be the only law school receiving this recognition,” said Richard Moberly, dean at the College of Law. “Law school and the legal profession can be stressful. Intentional wellness programming allows our students to develop the skills they need to manage that stress.”
Insight Into Academia magazine selected the University of Nebraska College of Law for their commitment to developing inclusive leaders through the Inclusive Leadership Fellows program and other strengths-based programming; the reflective practice exercises incorporated into clinical programs; comprehensive student and employee wellness programming; and intentional use of the new Wellness Room.
“We know that institutions are not always recognized for their dedication to their mental health and well-being services and the support they provide for their students and employees,” says Lenore Pearlstein, owner and publisher of Insight Into Academia magazine. “We are proud to honor these colleges and universities as role models for other institutions of higher education.”
