Below is more information on the WE courses offered through the Student Wellness Center.
The 8-week Foundations of Mindfulness course guides students through both the practice and science of mindfulness, exploring its relevance in school, work, and everyday life. Classes combine direct experience with reflection, weaving together the historical roots of mindfulness and its original intentions with modern insights from neuroscience, psychology, and wellbeing research. This balance grounds the teachings in both ancient wisdom and the extensive scientific studies of mindfulness and meditation from institutions worldwide.
Participants develop a deeply rooted and personal understanding of mindfulness that is practical, research-informed, and applicable across all areas of life. Through practice, dialogue, and reflection, students cultivate resilience, presence, and clarity to support their growth and wellbeing.
This class will meet Tuesdays from 4:30pm-5:45pm, beginning April 7.
Register required through DartHub using CRN 32715.
This 8-week course, developed by the Student Wellness Center (SWC) and the Teevens Center, is designed to help you strengthen your overall wellbeing and discover what it truly means to thrive—both at Dartmouth and beyond.
Grounded in evidence-based frameworks like Laurie Schreiner's Thriving Quotient, the SWC's Pathways to Wellbeing, and research from positive psychology, this class blends reflection, discussion, and hands-on experiences that support holistic wellbeing.
Each week focuses on a different dimension of thriving and gives you the chance to explore how it shows up in your life—through mindfulness, emotional awareness, mindset, rest, relationships, and purpose. Together, we'll practice tools that help you manage stress, build self-awareness, strengthen connection, and make choices that align with your values.
Throughout the course, you'll also help create a supportive, respectful community where everyone can feel a sense of belonging, share honestly, and grow together.
Register on DartHub with CRN 32725; Class is held on Wednesdays, from 3:30-4:45pm beginning April 8.
