Together, we aim to foster belonging and engagement to drive flourishing. Last fall, UMass Amherst students were invited to participate in the National College Health Assessment (NCHA), a national survey designed to help universities better understand students’ health behaviors, habits, and needs. This survey and other wellbeing data provide valuable insights that will guide the creation of programs, services, and policies supporting student wellbeing in areas such as mental health, physical activity, and substance use, furthering our efforts as a health promoting university. Please join us for a review of wellbeing data, what we've learned, and what comes next.
