WELL 100

WELL 100, Introduction to College Life at the University of Richmond, is required of all new first-year and transfer students within their first semester at the University. WELL 100 enhances the new student experience, and gives all students a stronger start to their Richmond education.

WELL 100 is a 10-session course (meeting once per week for 75 minutes) on a variety of well-being topics, including:

  • Academic Wellness
  • Mental & Physical Wellness
  • Building Healthy Relationships
  • Financial Wellness
  • Career Exploration
  • Richmond Campus & City
  • Spider Community & Respect

Class sessions are interactive, discussion-based, and facilitated by both a dedicated staff member, as well as a peer mentor. Peer mentors in WELL 100 are well-trained students, who also serve as either a Resident Assistant, Orientation Advisor, or URWELL Peer Educator, and offer valuable insights and share their own experience in adjusting to campus life.
