Who are we?

UCLA’s Semel Healthy Campus Initiative Center, envisioned and supported by Jane and Terry Semel, prioritizes the health and wellness of students, faculty and staff. It is a campus-wide effort to draw upon UCLA’s world renowned research and teaching, to find new and innovative ways to promote living well on campus, and to share that education and research with other communities, both locally and beyond. Since its inception, Semel HCI has acted as a spark plug and home for health-related work, helping to leverage the strengths of individuals and institutions on and off campus. Semel HCI promotes the “healthy choice as the easy choice” through its seven major thematic areas, called pods: BEWell, BreatheWell, EatWell, EngageWell, MindWell, MoveWell and ResearchWell.
