The importance of well-being at TU/e, with Stern from Lighthouse

Tools For Life around student life, well-being, and the crucial role of TU/e.

Today, TINT Event Organizer Ana is talking with one of the mods of Lighthouse, Stern Hutjes, about challenges that students experience around student life and well-being, both in general as well as due to corona and the soon to be expected winter dip. In this podcast, Stern also explains the role of TU/e when students feel like they need help. How it used to be, what changed during the pandemic, and where Lighthouse wants the role and responsibility of TU/e to go. He believes it’s about signaling problems, guiding students to the right resources, and coordinating all of the available initiatives. Lighthouse is a community that focuses on the mental well-being of students and staff on the Eindhoven Campus.
