Health and Wellness

Strategic Plan

Health and Wellness

The health and well-being of UNCSA students, faculty and staff are integral to academic, professional and personal success and represent a vital asset within the portfolio of student life offerings. 

HEALTH AND WELLNESS PROGRESS UPDATES

Mental Health Support Infrastructure

  • Establish a common health and wellness framework for living and working at UNCSA and in arts and entertainment industries. 
  • Promote and prioritize mental health awareness throughout the campus community through expanded onboarding, training and mentorship programs. 

Student Well-Being and Safety

  • Strengthen student support staff and resources in safety and wellness, with a focus on advocacy and assessment services, and expand educational and training resources. 
  • Develop new programs that promote implementing and sustaining healthy lifestyle habits, including nutrition and fitness. 
  • Develop and integrate instruction/ coaching on mindfulness and time management throughout the educational experience. 

Campus Workload Balance

(This initiative is also a part of the Interdisciplinary Work in the Arts core strategy.)

  • Engage the campus in creating a new collaborative calendar that creates alignment for work across campus units as well as space for wellness and reflection. 
  • Evolve the annual performance calendar to meet current and future programmatic needs and provide better balance for production work.
