Wellness on Campus (WOC) planning meeting

July 30, 2019 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm

Summertime planning meeting If you aren’t available this time, look out for a Doodle poll to come, for an additional summer meeting. Reminder:
I propose that WOC may need to be reenergized in order to stay relevant and well-attended. Some have questioned whether recent smaller meeting size is partially due to the growth of Healthy Campus Initiative and its “pods” (HCI subcommittees organized by health topic) in the past few years – that is, if the existence of “pod” meetings have made a committee like WOC more difficult to attend because of people’s time constraints (so many meetings, so little time…), or a perception that HCI has the same mission as WOC.
I maintain that there is great practical purpose in convening WOC, a network consisting (nearly 100%) of Student Affairs organizations, whose staff are the true “boots on the ground” in the work of student-focused well-being; and that there is much value in bringing under one umbrella those whose topic areas are varied and diverse but who tap into each other’s areas of convergence for collaboration and partnership. I view working with and participating in HCI “pods” as value-added, not a replacement.
