Theme III: Promote Well-Being
Our goal is to create a culture that recognizes the holistic lives of our students by integrating our 鈥淲ell-Being Wheel鈥� into all facets of the student experience.
Wellness is the optimal state of living well, regardless of an individual鈥檚 spectrum of health. It encompasses nine dimensions, including physical, intellectual, emotional, social, career, creative, financial, environmental, and spiritual well-being.
