These issues often lead to students to inadvertently neglect their mental health, thus causing more problems for themselves. Improving Through Positive Psychology aims to better inform university students (primarily of the University of Puerto Rico) about positive psychology and its benefits. It involves providing seminars and resources for students to learn strategies about how to better deal with stress, take care of their mental health, study more efficiently, make better use of their time and view themselves and their strengths in a new light. Its goal is to provide anywhere from 2-5 seminars and reach at least 40-100 students in a single semester to teach them better ways to look after their mental health and wellbeing. About the Millennium Fellow Manuel Mora was born in Puerto Rico in 1999, being part of a diverse family with relatives from different cultures. He started out as a very timid young boy, but has slowly opened up and pushed himself out of his comfort zone. Ever since his youth he's had to deal with mental health issues, as well as seeing their effects on his friends and family. These experiences led him to wonder why these things occur and how to fix them, eventually leading him to study psychology. He now studies diligently in hope of helping his community in the future.

The skills I gain from the Millennium Fellowship will make me advocate to communities and schools on SDG and health insurance. I am excited to increase my anticipatory competence by envisioning new ways to advocate and globally network. " Millennium Fellowship Project: Project H.I.F.A.-Delta The project was borne out of the identification of poor health seeking habit as one of the major contributors to poor outcomes at the Delta State University Teaching Hospital, Oghara. This is as a result of low income with resultant self-medication as a cheaper alternative. The consequence of this is late presentation with poor prognosis. Having identified the primary issue, a group of medical students, currently undergoing clinical training at the teaching hospital, willing to change this narrative, birthed this project and applied through the United Nations Academic Impact – Millennium Campus Fellowship. we realize that in the midst of abundance of health insurance schemes, the enlightenment about being covered is not widespread. Project HIFA-Delta targets indigenes of Delta State Nigeria to have as much individuals as possible registered under this scheme. the scheme offers free healthcare to pregnant women and children under 5 years of age. the relevance of this project is to get other individuals not captured in the above-mentioned groups, through enlightenment and where available, insurance premium subsidization, to become beneficiaries of the scheme. this is a step in actualizing the UCH 2030 where health is recognized as a basic right.
