Mental Health and Wellness Committee
Membership: Selected in consultation with the Student Wellness Steering Committee and the Mental Health and Wellness Committee Chair. Recommend balance of faculty and staff members, at least one staff member from Athletics, and at least one student member.
Description: In consultation with the Student Wellness Steering Committee, the Mental Health and Wellness Committee will engage in population assessment, community building, education, policy development, strategic planning, and reporting around key areas of student mental health, including anxiety, depression, stress, and suicide prevention/postvention. In the interest of strategically addressing these and other areas of student health, the committee will administer the Healthy Minds Survey (or similar assessment) to the student population once every three years and will use data and analytics derived from these assessments to set priorities and assign tasks.
