Student well-being support at Twente Pathway College

Twente Pathway College (TPC) believes academic excellence is only part of the equation. While high achievement is a key goal for any college, true success goes beyond grades: it’s about fostering well-rounded, resilient, and happy students who are prepared for a sustainable future.

Along with high academic achievements, TPC wants students to have a prosperous and healthy development, happy student lives, and sustainable futures. Crashing their way through studies might be okay for a short time, but not for the long run.

To support this, TPC has launched a new initiative offering free extracurricular workshops to help students manage their mental, emotional, and physical health. These engaging sessions cover essential topics such as self-regulation, stress management, leadership, AI literacy, and creativity skills, providing students with the skills they need to thrive both inside and outside the classroom.

Interacting with pets is one way to boost student well-being, especially for those missing their own. To bring joy and energy to campus, TPC invited a staff member’s dog, Flynn, for a visit. The experience was warmly received, as students loved interacting with Flynn. Due to the positive feedback, they have already requested more visits!

By empowering students to prioritise their well-being while striving for academic excellence, TPC shaped not just scholars but future leaders, innovators, and global citizens.
