Wellness Initiatives

Health and Wellness Educators (HAWEs) host several wellness initiatives throughout each academic year.

The Office of Health Education is dedicated to promoting holistic wellness at RWU through event planning, campaign launches, and the introduction of the 10 dimensions of wellness framework to the campus. The Director of Student Health Promotion and Wellness Education and the Health and Wellness Educators (HAWEs) work together to plan wellness initiatives on campus that are educational, interactive, and engaging for students. 

When planning new wellness events, the Health Education team is very intentional about assessing student health trends on campus to create initiatives that will benefit students the most. We focus on planning events around the 10 dimensions of wellness (emotional, physical, social, intellectual, occupational, financial, digital, environmental, spiritual, and creative), while also putting an emphasis on common college health topics, including alcohol & other drugs, mental health, physical health, social & digital wellness, and sex education & healthy relationships.
