Empowering Health, Promoting Well-being & Building Community
At UMass Boston, we are committed to fostering a campus environment where every individual can thrive. Our wellness initiative integrates health and wellness into all aspects of campus life, emphasizing inclusivity, sustainability, and community health. We believe that when students, faculty, staff, and the broader community are supported in their well-being, they are empowered to achieve their fullest potential.
We are committed to:
- Embedding health and wellness into every aspect of campus culture.
- Supporting the health and well-being of all members of the UMass Boston community, with a strong focus on equity and access.
- Leading both local and global efforts to advance health promotion.
