Student Wellness Design

Funded by the Hive and a generous donor, the 2021 Hive Wellness Design Fellowship Program directly empowered five student teams to apply design thinking in the world for positive social impact and community wellness. This 6-week fellowship included 13 Claremont Colleges students receiving $2500 stipends each. In total, 9 team proposals including 24 Claremont Colleges students applied. Each team was mentored by Hive faculty in a combination of equity based, human-centered design and systems thinking. Learn more about each project by clicking on the links below.
