Wellczars are wellness liaisons who provide University of Chicago College Houses with health and wellness information and resources. Wellczars work closely with UChicago Student Wellness and Peer Health Advocates to promote wellbeing events and educational workshops. They are educated on various health and wellness topics and work to help their peers make safe, healthy, and well-informed choices.

Becoming a Wellczar

Any student living in College Housing can be voted as their House’s Wellczar at the beginning of Autumn Quarter, during House elections. Wellczars should be passionate about helping their fellow students and learning about health and wellness. If you are interested in being elected a Wellczar, ask your RA how you can run for the position. 

If you have specific questions about the WellCzar program, please email Emily Schulze Scott at eschulze@uchicago.edu.
