Environmental Wellness Club

President of the Club: Mohammed almqbali

Supervisor: Dr. Bassem Saassouh

Vice President: Rauda alhadhrami

In a fast-paced world where we are constantly on the go, we often overlook our surroundings. If we choose to slow down, once in a while, we can come to realize the incredible impact that our environment has on us. It’s no surprise that taking a walk in nature can help reduce stress. So much beauty and well-being can come from our connection with a healthy environment. As we become more conscious of our environment and more protective of its wellness, we begin a journey of honoring ourselves, our communities, and our world.

The ADPoly Environmental Wellness Club’s Mission is to:

raise awareness towards environmental issues
encourage connecting with nature and exploring the outdoors
promote a more conscious and sustainable lifestyle
engage the students in volunteer opportunities that help promote the environmental wellness of the community

enable students to build a network with like-minded individuals within and outside the institute
support student writers or artists whose work is inspired by nature and want to share their work in on-campus events or exhibitions
