Getting Gritty Resiliency Program

Getting Gritty, UTC’s resiliency program, is a six week, non-credit course offered through Canvas with weekly live, group sessions. Through cognitive reframing, a mindful awareness of self, healthy coping skills, and identified supports, it is possible to overcome stress, trauma, and adversity. Students in the course will meet together once per week in the Center for Wellbeing (UC 350) for an hour to take a deeper dive into that week’s topic. Participation in at least four of the six groups is a mandatory component of the program. All students will receive a certificate of completion for the course. This is a wonderful program to include on resumes and CVs to enhance leadership experience! Click HERE for more information.
