ABOUT US

We are the only student-led Penn group focused solely on improving wellness in the engineering community. 

Our mission is to research how to improve student wellness through administrative and curricular changes, advocate for students by coordinating activities and events that emphasize well-being, and spread awareness about available resources within SEAS and across Penn.

Our group’s activities will include fostering discussion, collaboration, and idea-sharing spaces for students to address wellness in SEAS. We will advertise wellness resources to students through in-class presentations, partnerships with umbrella organizations such as Penn Wellness, as well as other student advocacy groups.

A note about Fall 2020: Given the remote nature of the semester, SEAS Wellness activities will be constrained by our virtual environment. Thus, this fall we will focus more on internal development, rather than in-person events. However, we are open to hearing your ideas and suggestions for wellness activities that we can facilitate this semester.
