University Health and Wellbeing Assessment and Plan
/in Newsletter, OPA News, PDA News /by najla salehThose who haven’t had the opportunity yet, should please take a moment to complete the 8–10-minute anonymous survey before Monday, January 29.
In addition to the survey, UHW’s university-wide health and wellbeing assessment and plan will include an environmental scan, key informant interviews, and focus groups. The goal is for all students, faculty, and staff to have access to health and wellbeing programs, resources and services that support all Spartans to be successful at MSU. UHW plans to release the plan in Spring 2024 and begin implementation immediately. Our input will enable UHW to set priorities and appropriately allocate resources over the next five years.
Interested persons can sign up here to participate in a focus group discussion for people of a specific community, taking place over the next few weeks.
For any questions, please contact Alexis Travis, PhD, Assistant Provost/Executive Director of University Health and Wellbeing: uhwassistantprovost@msu.edu
