In 2025, Julie and Jason Borrelli made a transformative $2 million gift that established the Learn to Flourish Design Hub .
More than a research program, the Hub is an engine driving the future of human flourishing education and developing the next generation of evidence-based courses, tools, and experiences that will help young people flourish.
Our work leads to research projects with real-world impact.
That means real costs: compensating research participants, supporting undergraduate research assistants, funding curriculum tools, and supporting faculty and students who help build what gets taught next. Every gift keeps our momentum going.
Having the opportunity to be a part of the first cohort of Learn to Flourish has been a constant reminder of the importance of well-being in my life. I have realized the impact of interconnection within our community as we work together to improve the well-being of the rest of our Penn State community and beyond.
