Health Begins Here
Creating a diverse, engaged and continuously learning environment
Over the last year, we have strengthened our community of faculty, students and staff through programs dedicated to wellbeing, diversity and professional development. Such activities include our first annual wellbeing fair, a wellbeing survey and the launch of our monthly community wellbeing speaker series. We continue to offer regular diversity dialogue speakers, monthly meetings on inclusive topics, and multiple faculty and staff development workshops.
