TigerWell envisions Princeton as a health-promoting university where all students flourish and have equitable opportunities to be their best selves. We embed a public health approach throughout campus in order to advance student health, well-being, and flourishing.

Our values are central to how we do our work: justice; agency and dignity; inclusion and respect; collaboration and teamwork; innovation; transparency; proactivity and responsivity; and sustainability.

TigerWell’s approach is guided by these frameworks:
