Who Are We?
The
Student Wellness Commission (SWC) is a branch of UCLA’s
Undergraduate Students Association Council (USAC), dedicated to
promoting holistic well-being across campus by integrating physical, mental, emotional, and social health into everyday student life through student
advocacy,
resource distributions, interactive
events and workshops, and
collaborations with other UCLA organizations.
With over 500+ members across our organization, we plan engaging events, lead advocacy efforts, connect with underserved communities, provide free health resources, and conduct meaningful research across areas such as basic needs, sexual health, and nutrition. Through collaboration, education, and outreach, SWC strives to foster a campus culture where all students can thrive.
