Help us, help you! There is an ongoing initiative by the Student Life and Wellness Survey Team (SLWST) to assess the awareness and use of the student life and wellness services offered by MCGSBS, and overall health and well-being of our graduate students across all three sites. We developed a comprehensive wellness questionnaire that will take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete. The results gathered from previous years have already helped the SLWST develop wellness initiatives for MCGSBS students and will continue to do so.

This survey will be administered annually to continually monitor MCGSBS students' overall health and well-being as well as evaluate the impact of current resources and any new wellness initiatives being implemented. Results are anonymous and participation is voluntary. We are collecting responses for this year’s survey from Monday, August 10th - Monday, August 31st – thank you for your participation!

Any questions or concerns, please reach out to the SLW co-representatives by emailing [email protected] and please include “Well-Being and Resource Assessment” in the subject line.
