Student Well Being and the Path to Flourishing

Published on ‎05-02-2026 08:07 AM by

Higher education is at a crossroads. Financial pressures, shifting student and faculty demographics, questions about value and relevance, and rising mental health needs are challenging institutions’ ability to create environments where students can truly thrive. But what does it mean for students to not just cope—but to flourish? And how can the research on flourishing inform student success efforts today and in the future?  

This virtual event draws on research on youth and young adult well-being, including insights from the Global Flourishing Study and the Academic Flourishing Initiative, to explore how institutions can better understand and support the full spectrum of student experiences. Hear from leading researchers as they translate these findings into actionable strategies that can impact student success today and for the future.  Register here

Thank you for the heads up on this event.
