Swarthmore Coalition on Well-being

The Swarthmore Coalition on Well-being (SCW) is a collective of staff, faculty, and students at Swarthmore College dedicated to fostering a campus culture that prioritizes holistic well-being. 

Our Mission: Why we are here

To reaffirm the College’s commitment to holistic well-being by addressing health and wellness topics that affect our campus community on a systemic level. The SCW will accomplish this by sharing insight and expertise, demonstrating investment in well-being, and collaboratively increasing awareness of what it means to Be Well at Swarthmore.

Our Vision: If our mission is successful

We will create a culture of well-being at Swarthmore that values the whole person and that is inclusive, holistic, and well-integrated into all aspects of campus.
