After a string of student deaths at UW-River Falls, an expert speaks to student mental health

Students and faculty of the University of Wisconsin River Falls are mourning the loss of four members of the campus community.

In September, a professor of journalism died unexpectedly of natural causes. The obituaries of the three students say they all lost their battles with depression. Two of these students were from Minnesota. Last year, 43 percent of the student body came from Minnesota.
