• "This course has renewed my interest in going to college"
• "This was my favorite class in my 4 years in college"
• "Every young adult should take this class"
• "I wasn’t expecting it to hit so deep with me, I felt very connected with everybody."
• The idea of community and culture made me think about what the importance of it is in my life and what I want for myself in the future."

Watch this short video showing students reflect on the class and their memorable field trip experience: 

The 9 Dimensions of Healthy Living framework stems from the robust research by the Gates Foundation on the "Dimensions of Young Adult Success". 
 
After using this framework to guide and structure the personal growth and program experiences of our students for several years we thought, wouldn't this framework make for a really interesting and valuable college course?... So, we partnered up with Veritas University to offer a course called Sustainable Lifestyles, focused on young adult wellbeing and centered around the 9 Dimensions of Healthy Living. 
​
In addition to providing students with lots of information on how to navigate their wellbeing, it has tons of experiential elements that make it really engaging.  ​
