| Remarks | UTA cannot change the current module. |
| Whereas | The University of Texas at Arlington strives for every student to be aware of and have access to every resource available to them on campus throughout their college careers; and |
| Whereas | Many resources related to alcohol and substance abuse awareness are explained at each student's New Maverick Orientation; and |
| Whereas | Students are not provided comprehensive information about campus resources like Counseling and Psychological Services; and |
| Whereas | New Maverick Orientation is already completely filled with information that can at times inundate students in attendance; and |
| Whereas | Student wellness, especially mental health wellness, is a pillar of the Maverick Way, and therefore of primary importance to the University; and |
| Whereas | Each student has the opportunity to complete a "Campus Climate" module that covers important topics like these among college students. |
| Be It Further Resolved That | The University of Texas at Arlington introduce the idea of a lengthy CAPS module with specific focus on suicide prevention, for students to complete after orientation as part of, or in addition to, the Campus Climate module. |
