This study describes the “Ecosystem of Wellbeing and Happiness” of the 60 thousand students of Tecmilenio University, the first Positive University in the world. It is observed that studying in a positive university allows students to use their character strengths in their school and personal activities, which contributes to their psychological wellbeing. The ecosystem enables students to live positive emotions and positive relationships constantly. This allows them to improve their levels of wellbeing and resilience to face adverse situations such as covid-19. The university’s mission is to give students the skills and capabilities to achieve their life purpose. Thanks to this, Tecmilenio University graduates have higher levels of life purpose, which allows them to be better people, professionals and citizens.
