Embedding brief resilience exercises into college courses is feasible and well received by students and faculty. In a mixed-methods study at a small university, 12 faculty were randomly assigned to either implement or not implement curricular micro-interventions; 267 students completed surveys before, during, and after the term. Qualitative feedback from six faculty in the experimental group showed the interventions were practical to deliver, and students reported positive effects on their lives. The findings suggest that classroom-based resilience micro-interventions can support student well-being, though long-term impact and scalability remain to be tested.
