University of Arizona Kind Campus Initiative

The Kind Campus Initiative is a comprehensive, year-long effort to infuse kindness into every corner of the University of Arizona community. In collaboration with Tucson's Be Kind Organization Ben’s Bells and the Science of Kindness Community Collective, the program will actively involve faculty, staff, and students in learning, practicing, and modeling kindness. Through science-based tools, actionable strategies, and visual reminders like the Be Kind Challenge, the initiative will cultivate positive attitudes, shared norms, and skills that support an inclusive and compassionate campus environment.

More than a single event, this initiative will provide continuous support, biannual trainings, and monthly resources to Kindness Ambassadors and Coordinators within each college or unit. By embedding kindness into everyday interactions and campus culture, the Kind Campus Initiative aims to strengthen community connections, enhance well-being, and inspire a lasting commitment to kindness across the university.
