Why Steps to Leaps?

As an organization created by students and for students, we know firsthand the struggles our community faces. From enabling campus leaders to advocating for change in university policy, we're here to provide resources that will help you not only survive but thrive during your journey at Purdue.

We know you want to make a real impact during your time here, so we've gathered resources that will empower you to build a strong network, cultivate grit, persist through challenges, and become a leader among your peers. 

To learn more about what well-being means to us, check out the Steps to Leaps Learning Pillars.

Invest in Yourself

We've all been there, hustling day and night, pouring our energy into our work, extracurriculars and relationships. In the midst of it all, self-care often takes a backseat and we neglect our own well-being.

Steps to Leaps is here to remind you that self-care is not a luxury or an indulgence; it's a vital investment in ourselves. While taking time for yourself can feel like an uphill battle, recognizing that you deserve care, love and nourishment is the first step towards well-being.

Let's navigate this challenging journey together. We share practical tips, resources and support that will help you carve out time for self-care, even in the midst of the college whirlwind.
