ABOUT THE COALITION FOR STUDENT WELLBEING:

The Coalition for Student Wellbeing (C4SW) is a national student-led nonprofit seeking to improve mental health in higher education through advocacy, collaboration, and education.

What Fellows Will Do

• Identify a student wellbeing issue on their campus or in their state that they want to advance.
• Develop a project plan for the initiative, from research and stakeholder mapping through implementation.
• Execute their initiative with ongoing mentorship and guidance from C4SW leadership and Advisory Board members.
• Connect with a national network of peer fellows working on similar efforts across the country.

What Fellows Receive
