Faculty and Staff Wellness
Wellness is the active process through which a person becomes aware of, and makes choices toward, a more successful existence.
Wellness is also a conscious, self-directed and evolving process of achieving an individual’s full potential. It is multi-dimensional and holistic, and supports a positive and sustaining lifestyle.
Why Does Wellness Matter?
Making positive lifestyle choices can significantly help improve academic and personal success. Adopting a wellness philosophy can greatly impact behaviors, emotions and relationships. Practicing personal wellness can greatly improve quality of life and maximize an individual’s full potential.
Maintaining a healthy work/life balance is also an important factor to enhancing overall wellness.
