The Strategic Goal of Student Well-Being

College students today are more distressed than ever before, and the abrupt dislocation of the campus community is only exacerbating mental health issues. How can leaders respond?

Stemming the rising rates of distress means emphasizing well-being at every level of the institution. Teletherapy helps more students get the counseling they need, while wellness apps and workshops target underlying problems and promote prevention. A holistic approach to the curriculum can integrate learning and personal growth, and faculty members and front-line administrators trained as gatekeepers can offer students empathy and support.

Join us on Tuesday, June 16, for a live webinar hosted by Alexander Kafka, a Chronicle journalist, as we bring together a panel of experts to examine what it takes to achieve the strategic goal of helping more students thrive so they can succeed, academically and otherwise.
