Environmental Wellness Club

President of the Club: Mansour Nasser Alhammadi

Supervisor: Dr. Bassem Saassouh

Vice President: Eisa Salem Al Memari

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

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
