15 Seconds: Megan Kennedy Explains The Resilience Lab

^{2/10/2022 – In partnership with UW Undergraduate Academic Affairs}

What is resilience? What is mindfulness? What does the UW Resilience Lab do, exactly?  

Founded in 2015, the Resilience Lab was intended as a support for undergraduates at the University of Washington, helping students understand and cope with life stressors and failures. Since then, our scope, mission, and programming has broadened and shifted, inviting more communities into a growing culture of care here at the University of Washington, as well as implementing a systems perspective that paints resilience as a community process. 

Our director, Megan Kennedy, accepted a challenge to answer questions about the Resilience Lab in 15 seconds or less. Was she successful? Watch the video below and find out!
