Humanities Well-being Ambassadors

We are excited to introduce you to our Well-being Ambassadors team! Our mission is simple, yet impactful: we're here to enhance the way our university nurtures well-being, and transform the conversation around student welfare. 

You can contact us at studentwellbeing@hum.leidenuniv.nl

What do we do? 
Well, picture us as the advocates of well-being on campus. We craft thoughtful campaigns, raise awareness about well-being challenges, and brainstorm solutions that can make a real difference. We see ourselves as the vital bridge between existing well-being initiatives and faculty staff members. We want to create linking arms with other efforts to build a seamless support network for everyone. 

Let's talk goals.
Our Student Well-being Ambassador Team is all about action. We're dedicated to promoting well-being across the Humanities faculty by spotlighting ongoing initiatives and exploring fresh approaches to integrate well-being into student life. Our targets align with the five key principles of student well-being outlined in the university-wide ‘Vision on Student Well-Being.’ We're committed to making meaningful progress in each of them.  

So, whether you're a student, a faculty member, or simply someone who believes in the power of well-being: we invite you to share your ideas and join us on this journey. Together, let's cultivate a campus culture where everyone can thrive. 

Vision on Student Well-Being: 

• Principle 1: Awareness starts in the learning environment 
• Principle 2: Prevention and early detection in a culture in which student well-being can be discussed openly 
• Principle 3: The University and its faculties provide an appropriate range of student support services 
• Principle 4: Advancing the expertise of student advisers to achieve an optimal chain of student support 
• Principle 5: Promoting the well-being of students by creating a sense of belonging and a safe study environment
