Purpose/Mission

• The Wellness Committee fosters connection and community among advisors through shared dialogue around well-being and wellness. We aim to create space for meaningful conversations, exchange of ideas, and collaborative learning that support restorative, holistic, and empowering wellness practices for the U-M advising community.

• Grounded in our strengths as advisors, we aim to create a welcoming space for conversations around student & advisor well-being. We recognize there are a diverse array of wellness practices and approaches throughout our academic units. Wellness is a topic many of us care about deeply, and we hope to utilize this platform to share experiences and advocate for improving well-being within the university.
