Wellness Committee
Purpose/Mission
The purpose of the Wellness Committee is to connect advisors with each other on topics related to their own wellness and the well-being of their students. We are a brand new ACUM committee initiative and seek dialogue with you in order to help promote meaningful wellness content.
We believe in wellness practices that are restorative, holistic, and empowering. As advisors, we excel at creating a welcoming space for conversations around student wellness. 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 expertise and advocate for change within the university.
