Enacting Student Well-being on Your Campus: Practical Steps for Practitioners and Decision-makers

Enacting Student Well-being on Your Campus: Practical Steps for Practitioners and Decision-makers

As institutions look to initiate or to integrate their well-being efforts across campus better, they have a range of questions and needs from tactical to strategic. This webinar will help practitioners and decision-makers create a research-based case for investing time and resources in

Five primary topics will be explored in this webinar:

  • Making the case for investment of time and resources in student well-being, based on research and ROI for institutions
  • Definitions of well-being and where well-being work takes place on campus (hint: it’s not only in the Counseling and Health Center!)
  • What we know from national surveys about the current state of undergraduate student well-being, using the Student Well-being Institutional Support Survey (SWISS), the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE), the American College Health Association’s National College Health Assessment (NCHA).
  • How to strategically use assessment to generate buy-in and support from all levels of campus, including Cabinet
  • Keeping the momentum for this work alive and well after you launch an initiative

By attending this webinar, participants will learn:

  • The importance of investing in student well-being and how to make the case for well-being work on their own campuses.
  • What the national picture of student well-being looks like currently, including areas of success and opportunity
  • How to take well-being data and research to action and rally others on campus around the cause
  • Methods for keeping excitement and investment in well-being work a priority for the institution.
