REDLANDS, Calif. – The University of Redlands Athletics Department joins more than 210 colleges and universities nationwide with an estimated 85,000 student-athletes involved across 20+ sports and all 50 states, as supporters of Hilinski's Hope Student-Athlete Mental Health (SAMH) Week. Beginning SAMH Week on Saturday, October 5, Bulldog Athletics is breaking down stigma, offering quality resources, and letting student-athletes know they are supported.
