The Think Tank Competition is an outlet for students to have a voice for change on their campus and the overall wellness of the student body. 

Project Overview

Participants are to work with their campus Student Wellness Coalition to identify an issue or dilemma that their campus is facing in relation to student mental, physical, or nutritional health. Once students identify an issue/dilemma on their campus. SWC's will come up with a solution to help combat their campus' issues. The solution could be an event, a program, or a product that helps bring awareness to the issue. Students will present to a panel of stakeholders who will choose 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners of grant funds donated by United Healthcare through the Fort Bend Education Foundation.
