ABSTRACT
Questions about the subsequent mental and psychological impacts of students’ participation in activism, especially in relation to systemic oppression, have yet to be seriously considered by higher education stakeholders. Hence, this chapter addresses these issues by providing a case study analysis of the author’s collective experiences as undergraduate student activists at the University of California, Los Angeles. The chapter concludes with several recommendations for higher education and student affairs professionals to consider in their efforts to engage with and adequately support student activists on their respective campuses.
