Wellness
Last year the University engaged with Rankin and Associates to conduct a campus climate survey to assess how all members of the campus community experience learning, living, and working at UMass Dartmouth. The survey results yielded many suggestions for how we can enhance the campus climate at UMass Dartmouth such as implementing an employee wellness program aimed at addressing stress, burnout and increasing work-life balance. In response to this and with support from the Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) we are pleased to offer a series of wellness and professional growth opportunities for faculty and staff which will be facilitated by two renowned speakers who bring unique perspective and expertise to their workshops.
UMASSD WALKING CLUB
The UMassD Walking Club is back by popular demand! Join us daily at noon starting on Wednesday, December 6. Let’s take some time to incorporate wellness into our workweek. Walking can energize the workday by reducing stress and building strength, energy, teamwork, and morale. We will meet at the Library patio for a short walk around campus. We look forward to seeing you there!
