Actor and singer Logan Henderson of Big Time Rush recently appeared at Illinois State University to perform and share commentary on mental health awareness.
An Evening with Logan Henderson on Nov. 9 was a collaborative event between Event Management, Dining and Hospitality and the University Program Board in their ongoing efforts to spread mental health awareness across ISU.
His appearance coincided with the release of the deluxe edition of Big Time Rush’s newest album, “Another Life,” which was made available for streaming the following day. Big Time Rush was part of a popular Nickelodeon series of the same name.
Onstage, Henderson was joined by EMDH Assistant Director of Marketing and Communications Samantha Schultz, who gathered questions asked by students to present to him.
He also played a couple of songs in between Q&A sessions, including “Sleepwalker,” “Pull Me Deep” and “Music Sounds Better.”
“I loved that it wasn’t a full-blown concert,” freshman elementary education student Emma Livingston said. “It felt small and private and a lot more personal.”
Henderson is a big advocate for mental health awareness and would go on to talk about his own experiences with promoting it, such as his involvement in the Man of More Words campaign, and how he maintains his wellbeing.
“It makes me happy to be here and to see that mental health has a huge focus and something that people are working on each and every day to get better at,” Henderson said. “It’s one of those muscles, you have to keep the conversation going and keep on educating yourself, and that’s how we get better.”
