Well-Being Awards
Faculty form a vital role in promoting wellness for students at Grand Valley. The Well-Being Awards recognition program was created by the WIT Peer Educators to honor and bring attention to the impactful efforts of faculty to center their work around students and have a people-first approach, recognizing that everyone has many different aspects of their life going on besides being a student or faculty member. A big thank you to these strong leaders, both faculty and students for nominating faculty that positively impacted their wellness in one of the 8 dimensions.
