For the past few weeks, a growing number of students have been informally meeting among themselves, and with the administration, to put into action a long-term plan for promoting “student wellness” at Columbia. The project aims to articulate the problems many students feel afflict the Columbia community, but are not equipped to solve. We’re given plenty of resources to deal with these problems, but rarely do we engage in critical, constructive, dialogue to identify their causes, let alone possible solutions.

Bwog has attended  some of these preliminary discussions, and was struck by the earnest goodwill and determination of Columbians to make a difference. If you are interested in hearing more about this initiative, or might want to help shape the group’s mission, stop by the The Student Wellness Project’s meeting, today at 1 pm in the SGO, on the 5th floor of Lener.
