Greden, Dr. Todd Sevig, and Dr. Daniel Eisenberg, and including members from across the University of Michigan campus, was instrumental in determining the specific session topics and identifying appropriate speakers.

- Best practices for prevention and intervention methods to address depressive illnesses among college students;
- Knowledge of effective prevention and wellness maintenance strategies to reach college students;
- Outreach models to reach students with depressive illnesses, or at risk of developing a depressive illness, in order to help these students to maintain wellness.
