Who We Are

 As part of the Division of Student Affairs' student wellness initiative, Healthy Campus is a collective of students, faculty, and staff engaged in health-promoting work on campus. Healthy Campus utilizes the national leadership of the American College Health Association's Healthy Campus 2020.

Our Vision

Healthy Campus is committed to the well-being of CI. To support our mission, we are focused on three areas: a coalition structure, our relationship to the institution, and our goals and objectives.

MAP-IT Framework

Healthy Campus uses the ACHA MAP-IT Framework to guide our efforts.

MAP-IT Framework: Mobilize, Assess (we are here), Plan, Implement, and Track

Our Progress

 October-December 2019: Developed mission, vision, and scope of our work.

December 2019-January 2020: Met in thematic groups to discuss team data

January 2020: Coalition met to discuss findings- social connectedness & belonging

 Two arrows: one depicting influences on student involvement, one depicting facilitators of student well-being. Influences on student involvement: culture shock, rural location, challenges building and maintaining social support, resource awareness. Facilitators of student belonging: dynamic experiences, develop personal agency through mentorship, responding to needs, introductory programs.

February 2020: coalition met to discuss findings- physical and mental well-being

Contributors to cold and flu: low self-care (low priority) and not calling out sick (fears around self-advocacy). Proposed campus response: encourage self-care and support students who are ill.

May 2020: Healthy Campus Coalition met with Dr. Richard Yao to develop alignment roadmap for psychosocial well-being in virtual programming
