Wellbeing Leadership Council: The Wellbeing Leadership Council functions to promote a campus-wide approach with coordinated action by departments working toward common goals and objectives; identify and meet the unique needs of particular groups of students; leverage specialized expertise; provide transparency, accountability, and benchmarks for priority areas; identify opportunities for prevention; and recommend and champion the implementation of new programs, policies, and strategies for effectively engaging Gusties in their health. We invite you to join based on your personal areas of interest—no experience necessary. The group meets approximately five times per semester.
