University educators struggle to provide effective assistance to students for the transition to college life (Center for Collegiate Mental Health, 2019). Like many other institutions, Florida State University, population 42,000, has grappled with how best to help students meet these challenges. In 2018, the university administration requested a new customized approach: a universal psychoeducational prevention program for all students, resulting in the launch of a unique website called The Student Resilience Project (Oehme et al., 2019). The program, required of all first-year students but promoted to all students, helps young adults transition to college using peer videos on overcoming common stressors, videos on resilience, skill-building activities, relaxation skills training, brief audio lectures by mental health experts, and connections to campus counseling and supportive resources.
