" I've learned that small, thoughtful actions can ripple across a community in ways we don't always see. I hope to create spaces where people feel supported, heard, and capable of taking care of themselves and each other, because meaningful change often starts quietly, with one person caring enough to listen and act. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Wellness Without Walls
Wellness Without Walls is an independent podcast exploring health and well-being through the lens of global perspectives and student life. By inviting peers, professors, and staff to share their insights, the podcast fosters conversations around mental health, lifestyle, cultural approaches to wellness, and the challenges of studying abroad. Between August and December 2025, it aims to produce 4–6 episodes featuring diverse voices representing multiple cultural and disciplinary perspectives, and engage at least 150 student listeners through campus promotion and online sharing. Outcomes will be measured through episode plays and downloads, the number of students accessing a companion wellness resource, short listener surveys capturing takeaways and feedback, and the participation of students and staff in interviews, ensuring the podcast’s impact is both tangible and trackable.
