Kaytlin Vanderhorst and Owen Harwood both came to UW from small towns unsure of what path to take — but they found their place through psychology, education and community. Kaytlin, from Deming, WA, and Owen, from Othello, WA, are passionate about wellness and social-emotional learning (SEL). Together, they co-founded WANDR (Wellness and Resilience Club), a peer-led space where students practice SEL and DBT skills while building community. Learn more about Kaytlin and Owen!
