You at College

The innovative digital tool promotes self-reflection, allowing students to be more proactive with their health and well-being in order to make the most of their college experience. Students can complete brief assessments and create their profiles in order to customize content.

Using the portal, students can explore their strengths and areas for growth across three domains:
•SUCCEED = Academics / Career
•THRIVE = Physical / Mental Health
•MATTER = Purpose / Community / Social
