A pathway for student success
Lynn's mission is to provide an innovative, global and personalized education that enables students to realize their potential. One of the ways we do that is by helping build resilience. Lynn's Resilience Toolkit helps students adapt positively to new experiences or challenges in the college setting.
What is resilience?
Resilience gives people the strength to cope with stress and hardship. It's a significant component of identity that can be positively reinforced through the development of essential resilience-building skills.
We teach students resilience because it will help them cope with many stressful situations in and out of the classroom.Patrick Cooper, associate professor
Resilience at Lynn
Resilience is part of our culture. As we continually innovate, adapt and evolve as an institution, we want our students to do the same. We believe that when students have the tools to get through tough times, they are bound to grow from their experiences.
Our Resilience Toolkit helps our students establish a growth mindset through discovering new skills and coping strategies and applying behaviors like adaptability. We deliver the toolkit through the academic and social sides of our student experience:
Learning resilience in the classroom
Exploring resilience outside the classroom

I came to the university scared. But at Lynn, I learned to be adaptable in every situation. I also worked on my leadership skills through classes, Psi Chi and housing and residence life.Emily Miranda, '23, B.S. in psychology, minor in international business
Resilience has helped me overcome so many challenges! I learned how to be more independent and ask for help when I need it.Addie Claiborne, class of 2024, B.S. in forensic investigations
This program really changed the way I applied myself to my college courses. When my workload is heavy, I stay optimistic and remember that it's nothing compared to what others go through.Lauren Adams, class of 2024, B.S. in psychology
My new skills taught me that life is like a roller coaster; sometimes you're up and sometimes you're down. But even when you're down you need to remember that sooner or later you’ll be up.Shachaf Bachar '23, B.S in psychology
