How can we weave well-being into the ways we work, learn, connect, and grow at ODU? We're so glad you asked!

Faculty and staff are invited to join us for Well-Being, Woven In: Advancing a Health-Promoting University, co-sponsored by the Office of Faculty Recruitment and Well-Being and the Division of Student and Campus Life.

Two sessions are available:

September 8 | 12–1 p.m. | Zoom
September 9 | 12–1 p.m. | Student Recreation and Well-Being Center, Room 1400

This foundational workshop will introduce what it means to be a Health-Promoting University and explore how ODU is working to create conditions where people and communities can flourish.

Participants will consider systems thinking, upstream approaches to well-being, and the ways our everyday roles, decisions, and connections can contribute to a healthier and more connected university community.
