About The Bill Rosehart Wellness Room
Former Dean Dr. Bill Rosehart was deeply committed to enhancing student wellness. In recognition of his dedication, the Schulich Wellness space has been renamed the Bill Rosehart Wellness Room in his honour. The room (ENA 06) is a dedicated space on the engineering campus where students can connect and decompress between classes. It offers curricular, co-curricular and extracurricular programs for students, faculty and staff. We believe that healthy individuals create a healthy community.
The Bill Rosehart Wellness Room hosts numerous events throughout the academic year, including painting, colouring, board games, yoga and meditation, mental health and wellness workshops, a place to unwind with friends, and more!

Certificate in Personal and Community Mental Well-Being
This certificate supports student wellbeing, ensuring that every student who enters engineering has an opportunity to develop their resilience. Research by Alameda (2009) found that students benefit from mental health and wellness instruction to teach resilience and coping skills. Using already scheduled class time to teach these topics, and delivering co-curricular material specifically for engineers, we support students' mental well-being as well as their academic achievement.
