What is the Wellness Summit?
The Wellness Summit is a university-wide celebration of well-being designed to inspire, educate, and connect our campus community. Through an engaging, carnival-style experience across our campuses, participants will have the opportunity to explore the eight dimensions of wellness—Physical, Emotional, Social, Financial, Intellectual, Occupational, Environmental, and Spiritual.
Throughout the day, you'll discover interactive activities, educational workshops, wellness demonstrations,university resources, guest speakers, and opportunities to connect with colleagues while prioritizing your own well-being. Whether you choose to challenge yourself with a new activity, learn practical strategies for enhancing your health, or simply enjoy the vibrant atmosphere, the Wellness Summit offers something for everyone. Join us as we celebrate the many ways wellness supports our personal and professional lives and discover new resources and experiences that can help you thrive both at work and beyond.
