The Radical Resilience initiative is a part of the Healthy Campus Network and Student Health Center’s Be Well campaign.

Out of a deep concern for the mental health and well-being of our campus community, a volunteer group composed of faculty, staff, and undergraduate and graduate students, worked collaboratively between fall 2019 and spring 2020 to plan this program.
