Wellness

With the growing demand for a wide variety of student health-related services, colleges and universities have the opportunity to create long-term strategic facilities assets while responding to student needs.

Higher ed administrators must ensure students can connect and collaborate with faculty, staff and their peers in more ways—particularly in the online and hybrid learning environments that may be implemented this fall, say UB guest columnists Carolina and Claudia Recchi.

First, respond to trauma; then, create (and assess) wellness programs to facilitate ongoing student success, says UB guest columnist Karen Gross, who emphasizes the importance of incorporating the values of transparency, tranquility, tolerance and temperance.
