About Us

Purpose: The purpose of this initiative will be to guide the planning and implementation of programs, interventions and policies that support a healthy campus environment to live, learn, work, and play.

Rationale: We recognize that there are a number of health related initiatives on campus currently, yet the campus community lacks a focused comprehensive approach. This initiative is designed to create a campus wide dialog focused on health and wellness and to improve the coordinated effort of health related messages and activities. We know that health status influences learning as well as work productivity and therefore intend this initiative to promote healthy learning communities
