Inside Higher Ed recently highlighted Elon University’s inaugural Andrew G. Bennett Student Wellness Innovation Grants.

Four projects were announced in February and include a Puppy Yoga event, an arts and crafts service initiatives, establishing a peer support program for nursing students and renovating the philosophy suite in Spence Pavilion.

Inside Higher Ed spoke with Anu Räisänen, director of HealthEU Initiatives about selecting the projects.

“The goal is that students come and share their experience, like they would do with undergraduate research as well, and then we build that momentum,” Räisänen told Inside Higher Ed. “The best way to get a message to students is word of mouth; you just need to find the right students to spread the word.”’
