Our people are our most important asset. As Ursinus looks to the future, it is working to nourish the well-being of all students, faculty, staff, alumni, parents, donors, and friends. This will enable us to reach our full potential and thrive.

Out of the Darkness
Ten years ago, Rachel “Chell” Blunt ’14 lost their life to the depression they had battled for many years. The Ursinus College junior had loved their time at the college, and Chell’s friends and family decided not to let their Ursinus story end at that moment.

Whole Body, Whole Mind, Whole Community
In true Ursinus fashion, Jeevan ’99 and Amy Sekhar work to take an interdisciplinary, all-encompassing approach to healing and wellness.

Putting People First
Katie Bean is a published author who led Ursinus’s campaign to become the first college or university in the nation certified as a Recovery-Friendly Workplace.

At Ursinus, students are used to pondering four questions. Across the nation, peer institutions are constantly faced with one big one: Why are the liberal arts valuable?
