Wellbeing Initiatives: Health Education, Prevention, and Promotion for the Penn Community
At Penn, wellbeing is more than a goal—it’s a foundation for success. Our Wellbeing team is dedicated to supporting students in cultivating healthy habits, building resilience, and finding balance during their time on campus and beyond.
Our Areas of Focus
Workshops & Events
We offer interactive programs on topics such as mindfulness, stress management, sleep, and overall self-care, giving students practical skills to thrive academically and personally.
Our request form is currently closed. Workshops must be requested at least 2 weeks in advance and we do not host workshops during reading days or finals. Since we are entering the last 2 weeks of the semester, we have temporarily closed the form to better support students as they focus on wrapping up their academic year. The form will re-open for requests on Tuesday, December 16th. If you are a staff or faculty member looking to request an orientation session or other orientation-related outreach, please reach out directly to Lauren Cordova (lcordova@upenn.edu). For all other requests, please come back to submit a form on or after December 16th.

Peer-Led Programs

Peer Support
Connection & Community
We believe wellbeing is strengthened in community. Our initiatives encourage belonging and meaningful relationships that enhance the Penn experience. Whether you're on a substance use harm-reduction journey, looking for ways to support friends or others in the community who are experiencing stress, distress, and crisis, or simply wanting to build connection, Wellness has programming to help you thrive.

Why It Matters
The university years are a time of growth, discovery, and challenge. By investing in wellbeing, students are better equipped to meet those challenges with confidence, focus, and resilience. Our initiatives provide the support and resources to ensure students can thrive—not just during their time at Penn, but throughout their lives.
