Club Mission

The Penn Wellness Student Coalition (PWSC) is the student-led wellness umbrella group on campus. We were founded in 2015 with support from the Class of 1978 alumni and the Counseling and Psychological Services (now Student Counseling Services from Wellness@Penn) with three main goals:

1. To foster discussion, collaboration, problem-solving, and idea sharing among student communities and wellness student groups on wellness issues, initiatives, and events at the University of Pennsylvania.

2. To implement new wellness initatives throughout the student community and work closely with the administration in these efforts.

3. To use our funds to support meaningful events on campus that promote student wellbeing and mental health.

PWSC works towards our mission through 6 different committees: Internal, External/Advocacy, Publicity, Events, Finance, and Graduate.
