Be Well.
We take your health and well-being seriously. We offer a variety of wellness resources and incentives to help you remain a healthy member of our vibrant community.
Faculty Wellness Resources
This collection of resources aims to support faculty in their efforts to create a healthy learning environment for student learning and success. Use this collection as you would a menu; it includes a variety of evidence informed strategies, tools, and resources from which to pick and choose. Because student well-being is dependent on faculty well-being, please remember to review the mental health and coping resources specifically for you, as faculty.
This e-guidebook offers practical tips on how faculty can integrate life skills and evidence based strategies for well-being into their teachings – including mindfulness, gratitude, self-compassion, growth mindset, and resiliency skills.
