to Advance Student Wellbeing
Zoom︱Thursday, Feb. 5 2:00 – 3:00 pm ET
The LearningWell Coalition, in collaboration with U.S. Health Promoting Campuses Network, will host a one-hour virtual panel discussion on Thursday, February 5, bringing together leaders and practitioners from academic and student affairs to explore how higher education leaders can adopt a whole-campus approach to student wellbeing.
Beyond Silos: Bridging Academic and Student Affairs to Advance Student Wellbeing, the event marks the beginning of a broader, ongoing conversation among higher education leaders and organizations committed to embedding wellbeing into both the academic and co-curricular student experience.
Panelists will discuss:
- Fundamental approaches to all-campus wellbeing
- Where academic affairs and student affairs intersect most naturally in supporting student wellbeing
- Examples of campuses that are successfully bridging the divide between these efforts
- The role of faculty as partners in student wellbeing
- How institutions can embed wellbeing into culture, policy, and assessment
- What deeper collaboration across organizations and networks could look like over the next several years
