Creating a sense of belonging is something we’ve been talking about a lot about at the Wellness Collaborative. Our university community has been working tirelessly to support a largely virtual Fall semester, while welcoming new students to our community! One of these initiatives is Women in Computer Science (WiCS) at UWaterloo. They have been working very purposefully for over a dozen years to positively impact belonging, and ultimately the wellness, of female and non-binary Computer Science students.
The Wellness Collaborative and Committee on Student Mental Health (Co-SMH) work closely to ensure that the mental health of everyone at the University of Waterloo continues to be at the forefront. We are very excited to announce that Co-SMH will be hosting the University of Waterloo's inaugural Virtual Conference on Student Mental Health Research on November 5th, 2020, as part of Thrive Week. The goal of this event is to bring together members of the Waterloo community to share knowledge, connect researchers, and promote mental wellness.
