The annual Student Health & Wellness Innovate Wellness Challenge registration is open! The Innovate Wellness Challenge is a case competition that encourages students from diverse backgrounds, majors, and interests to come together to solve some of the most pertinent health and wellness issues on campus through the Design Thinking Process.
Students can register here and learn more about this year’s challenge on the Innovate Wellness Challenge website. Students may register an entire team or register as an individual in which they will be matched with a team member(s) based on interests and skills.
The reason a program like the Innovate Wellness Challenge was started on this campus was to create a culture in which students' voices and ideas were not just heard but developed and implemented. Students themselves can provide a fresh and innovative approach on how to tackle these multifaceted problems. This year’s Innovate Wellness Challenge asks students to think and develop how we can come together and holistically address the following question: How can UConn improve existing services and resources on campus to take the burden of resource and support navigation off the student?
The Innovate Wellness Challenge is part of October's Month of Discovery.
