The purpose of this article is to describe the development and implementation of a program to improve well-being in undergraduate students and promote positive transitions into the workplace. College students experience anxiety, depression, and impaired coping, which were exacerbated during the COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) pandemic. As students transition into their career, it is imperative they develop positive coping strategies and resiliency to manage workplace stress. The Personal Leadership Collective (PLC) is designed as a four-semester series for third- and fourth-year nursing and business students. Four themes guided the activities: awareness, connection, agility, and growth. Students participated in asynchronous online learning modules and in-person activities. Fourth-year students who completed the series served as peer mentors to third-year students. The program is undergoing formal evaluation. Anecdotal feedback from participants is positive. The PLC is a program that could enhance professional development in undergraduate students. [J Nurs Educ. 2024;63(X):XXX-XXX. ].
