Reflect, Connect, Thrive

Welcome to Reflect, Connect, Thrive (RCT)—a holistic resilience program designed specifically for the modern college student. We know that university life is a whirlwind of deadlines, social pressures, and self-discovery. We move beyond "survival mode," giving you the tools to manage stress, build lasting habits, and find your community.

Our Core Pillars:

• Reflect: Developing deep self-awareness to understand your reactions and emotions.
• Connect: Building meaningful relationships with yourself, your peers, and the world.
• Thrive: Moving beyond survival mode to live with purpose, energy, and confidence.

Program Components:

• Mindfulness Minutes: Rapid mental resets that lower cortisol and sharpen academic focus.
• Gratitude Journaling Series: A structured habit-building journey to shift mindsets toward optimism and persistence.
• Off-Campus Excursions: Adventure-based learning that breaks the "campus bubble," reducing isolation through shared experiences in the local community.

Whether you're feeling overwhelmed or just looking for a deeper sense of purpose, this program provides the space to breathe, and the experiences to grow.
