A Standards and Evidence-Based Approach
The University Well-Being Coalition supports programs, services, and initiatives that are developed using nationally established, research-grounded guidelines and follow a data-driven approach focused on education, environmental management, and harm reduction.
We suggest regular implementation of assessments and evaluations in order to stay current with present and evolving health, well-being, and social behaviors on campus.
