The Evansville African American Museum, in collaboration with ChangeLab – an interdisciplinary credit-bearing academic offering through the University of Evansville’s Center for Innovation & Change – developed a project-based course to establish a pop-up mental health café. This initiative was inspired by a senior UE student who envisioned creating a mental health café in the museum's neighborhood. The student worked alongside an adjunct professor from the Center for Innovation and Change at the University of Evansville to organize the course, which included selecting class materials, scheduling guest lecturers, and leading sessions throughout the semester. The student also played a crucial role in enrollment by recruiting students from various disciplines, including Psychology, Ethics and Social Change, Cognitive Science, Public Health, Sociology, Political Science, and Social and Human Services. This presentation highlights how academic environments can democratize the learning experience for students, fostering teamwork and integrating multidisciplinary skill sets that enhance classroom learning. Ultimately, this initiative created a tangible, real-world opportunity that benefits the local community while also supporting students' aspirations.
