• Insight into surprising data trends, including how students of every gender identity and body size are experiencing eating disorders at increasing rates. 
• Clarification on why eating disorder myths persist and how we can all help to dispel them. 
• Understanding of barriers to effective care, from stigma, to insurance gaps, to misdiagnoses, especially for historically underrecognized students. 
• A look at innovative tools and strategies that support students in crisis. 
• Practical guidance on how campus stakeholders can dismantle stigma, respond proactively, and deliver truly supportive responses during a pivotal time in students’ lives.
