Vision
The Employee Wellness Program Wellness Works for a Healthier You is dedicated to helping staff and faculty live healthier lives. At its core, the program is inspired by Cura Personalis, the care for the person; body, mind and spirit. Through a variety of programs, classes, health assessments, health coaching and incentives, staff and faculty are encouraged to begin to take small steps towards significant health benefits.
The Wellness Program was launched in 2008 and is a collaboration between the Center for Health Education and Wellness (CHEW) in the Division of Student Affairs and the Office of Human Resources. The Wellness Committee is comprised of staff and faculty from various departments and serves as a champion for wellness issues on campus. In addition the committee generates program ideas, represents the various constituencies and evaluates the program.
