What We Provide for our Surrounding Community

Outside of campus, we offer microcredential classes and workshops for groups, businesses and organizations. We work to create specialized programming that is tailored to those we are working with. This can be for K-12 students, teachers, sports teams, businesses that work in stressful environments, non-profits and more.

In addition to these educational offerings, we host events through LiveWell, an initiative of the Pruitt Center, designed to foster connection, joy and overall well-being within the community.

Below is a list of classes, workshops and community events we provide.

Our Benefactors

The Pruitt Center for Mindfulness and Well-Being would never have been possible were it not for the generous support of our benefactors, Becky and Doug Pruitt.

The Pruitts’ tremendous generosity, dedication and commitment to education and a culture of compassion and caring led to the establishment of the Pruitt Center for Mindfulness and Well-Being at UW-Superior. Becky (Black) Pruitt is a medical technology and biology alumna of UW-Superior. She also received her master’s degree in human science from Saybrook Graduate School. Doug graduated from Oklahoma State University with an AS degree in civil technology and later graduated from the University of Phoenix in business administration. They currently split their time between Paradise Valley, Arizona, and Knife River, Minnesota.

After working as a medical technologist for several years, Becky became a stay-at-home mom raising two children while continuing her love for learning. She has been an active volunteer on many boards in the Phoenix area as well as the UW-Superior Alumni Association. Her dedication to mindfulness and well-being also includes serving on the advisory board for the Greater Good Science Center, UC-Berkeley and the Center for Mindfulness, Compassion and Resiliency at Arizona State University. Doug spent his career with the Sundt Construction family for 45 years, serving as Chairman and CEO from 1998 until his retirement, and continues serving on many business and community boards.
