SWC Wellbeing Themes

Spring 2025

Courageous Action!

Our theme this spring, "Courageous Action," means that we pursue actions that feel meaningful or necessary to contribute to individual and collective wellbeing, promote proactive change, and advance equity and belonging, even in the face of adversity or fear. From small actions on an individual scale to larger ones in our communities, the path to "courageous action" means aligning actions with values, embracing growth mindset, and recognizing when the fear of failure or discomfort holds us back and instead choosing to move forward despite uncertainty. 

Acting swiftly and decisively can strengthen our ability to be impactful leaders, and empower the people around us to do the same. Consequently, taking "courageous actions" play a vital role in advancing equity and belonging. By developing the skills to speak up and advocate for positive change, we can, together, create a more inclusive campus community.
 
Stay with us all term long as we take a deeper dive into this theme by sharing ideas and resources to help you recognize where "Courageous Action" could play out more intentionally in your life.
