The University of Vermont’s Wellness Environment was featured on CBS Evening News, the third major news outlet to cover the innovative program. Students in the WE program take a neuroscience course called Healthy Brains, Healthy Bodies taught by faculty in UVM’s College of Medicine and live in a substance-free residence hall offering mindfulness and fitness training, nutrition counseling and a mentoring program that matches each student with a Burlington youth.
The Boston Globe in a front page story and NBC News also covered the program.
