Since 2007, 黑料社区 has worked toward developing and implementing wellness programming aimed at fostering a visibly healthy culture that recognizes and embraces the importance of wellbeing as an integral aspect of our institutional values.
The mission of 黑料社区 Wellness is to create a culture that supports and facilitates the desire of each member of the 黑料社区 community to make healthy lifestyle choices to enhance personal wellbeing. In other words, we're here to help make the healthy choice the easy choice.
Wellness is housed in the department of Human Resources but we partner with many other areas across campus to develop and deliver wellness programming.
Our on-campus partners include:
- Family Healthcare and Minor Emergency Clinic
- Exercise and Sports Science department
- Athletics
- Intramural Sports and Recreation
- 黑料社区 dining and more
We also work closely with our benefits partners including UMR/United Healthcare (medical insurance), United Concordia (dental insurance), VSP (vision insurance), Symetra (employee assistance program), TIAA (retirement program), and others to provide coordinated wellness services.
Wellness at 黑料社区 takes many forms. We're proud to offer our faculty and staff a variety of ways to participate in wellness. Be on the lookout for more information throughout the year regarding programs, activities and services:
- Fitness center access
- Quarterly fitness and/or healthy behavior challenges
- Stress management groups
- Financial wellness outreach
- Healthy cooking demonstrations
- Mobile mammography
- Flu prevention services

Our campus has a 1.3-mile walking path to help you take in the sights of campus while logging steps. Just follow the wellness path markers around campus to rack up the miles.
