"In our ongoing efforts to support students' overall well-being, we are excited to partner with the True Voice app as a complement to the variety of programs and activities offered to Howard University students," said Cynthia Evers, Ed.D., Vice President of Student Affairs at Howard University.

Findings from The U.S. Surgeon General's Advisory on the Healing Effects of Social Connection and Community report highlight the alarming rise of loneliness and isolation among young adults. Howard University recognizes these challenges and aims to empower its students to proactively manage their mental wellness, while offering innovative ways to support growth toward personal and academic success.

Howard University recognizes these challenges and aims to empower its students to proactively manage their mental wellness, while offering innovative ways to support growth toward personal and academic success. True Voice will offer students access to a community and a space of vulnerability that they may not find in their extracurricular groups or classrooms.

"Gen Z college students came of age in the midst of historic pressures, including the isolation and loss of the pandemic," says Will Campbell, CEO of Quantasy. "Our goal with True Voice is to help them make mindfulness and self-care a habit."

The True Voice platform will offer students mindfulness courses, live sessions with experts, tools to support community organization and advocacy, as well as daily recommendations tailored to each member's own physical and mental well-being.

Quantasy Chief Growth Officer Ron Gillyard, a Howard alumnus, says, "The missions of True Voice and Howard are aligned, and we have built something that will assist in Howard's journey of finding ways to help students cope and find belonging."
