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 or RH 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.
