STUDENT HEALTH & WELLBEING REVIEW
Mandate
As part of its ongoing efforts to actively support the health of our students, Concordia has formed a committee to review how the university can further promote wellbeing as a prerequisite to academic success.
The mandate of the Student Health and Wellbeing Review Committee is to examine student health in well being in six areas:
- The academic environment
- Concordia policies and practices that support student wellbeing
- On-campus support services related to health and wellbeing
- On-campus opportunities for student personal development (i.e. outside of classes)
- Campus spaces that promote health and wellbeing
- Opportunities for students to connect and interact on-campus
Process
A committee was created to give input on the design of the review and to meet with stakeholders in each of the six areas. This includes:
- In-depth interviews with stakeholders as well as a review of trends and best practices at other universities to inform priorities
- Focus groups with subject matter experts to review key findings
