Thrive: Wellness Living Learning Community (LLC) is a collaboration between the Wellness Resource Center and University Housing and Residential Life.
It is an immersive experience designed to prepare First-Year students to thrive at Temple University. Specialized programming and a First Year Seminar provide students space to explore holistic wellness and their ability to flourish in college.
Located in Morgan North
Students in Thrive: Wellness LLC will engage in enlightening conversations through the lenses of the eight dimensions of wellness and social justice. Students who choose to be a part of this community desire to place holistic wellness at the center of their college experience.
