ScarletWell has awarded the second round of Wellness Connection grant recipients. Grant awards range from $500–$1,000 to support student-led (Wellness Connection Grants) and faculty-staff directed (Wellness at Work Grants) wellness activities in Fall of 2025 and Spring of 2026 (September-May).
Wellness at Work Grants, led by faculty and staff, will be offered in partnership with the Center for Faculty Success, to support workplace-centered wellness activities that include faculty and staff participating together to promote a culture of wellness across New Brunswick schools, departments, divisions, and/or work teams. Wellness Connection Grants, led by students and sponsored by faculty, empower students to create events and spaces at Rutgers–New Brunswick that foster communities of connection across New Brunswick student groups.
The Bloustein School team of Assistant Professor Aakanksha Deoli, Professor of Teaching Anita Franzione, and Events/Program Manager Stephanie Kose will again be running Limitless Wellness at Rutgers: Where Community Meets Connection. This project promotes the physical, mental, emotional, and social well-being of Bloustein faculty and staff through monthly guided tours of wellness-focused Rutgers locations such as gardens, recreation centers, and cultural spaces. Running from September 2025 to April 2026, the initiative encourages cross-campus connection, mindfulness, and inclusion.
