What is Resilience, Wellness, and Well-being at Pratt?
Resilience, Wellness, and Well-being (RWW) is dedicated to creating a culture where the entire Pratt community can flourish and thrive through our focus on connection, engagement, support, and well-being. Together, we work with faculty, staff, students, and alumni to gain the creative and life skills that build meaning and engagement during our time at Pratt and beyond.
We conduct surveys on well-being, so we can offer programs and appointments that are data informed, and we host conversations and a Council across the Institute to collaborate on ideas, initiatives, and actions.
