Your response is needed to one question about how faculty members demonstrate support for student wellbeing. UConn’s Academic Affairs Partnership Committee, made up of faculty and staff representatives from each school and college, is working to enhance student wellbeing in the university’s academic environments.
Your responses, which are confidential and cannot be linked back to you, will be used to create a training module for faculty and academic support staff on how they can most effectively support student wellbeing.
Respond to the question:
Questions about this project can be directed to Emily Pagano, Health Promotion Manager, by emailing emily.pagano@uconn.edu.
