THRIVE is Richmont’s campus-wide emphasis on wellness.

Richmont is interested in your overall wellness, not simply your academic or work performance.  As a university, we want you to live a satisfying life while you are in graduate school and develop and practice the tools to find fulfillment in your life.

What is THRIVE?

  • Wellness Activities on campus through small and large group activities
  • Individualized, Student-Developed Wellness Plans 
  • Regular review of your wellness goals with your advisor
  • Annual snapshots of your wellness through brief online assessments
  • Support and encouragement from faculty, staff & peers who are all working on their own personal wellness goals.

Richmont cares deeply about the well-being of our students and employees. The university places strong emphasis and value on wellness in spiritual, relational, physical, emotional, and mental domains for our staff, faculty, and students.
