Our Mission
The mission of the office of Student Life and Well-being is to create systems where students can stay healthy, build meaningful connections, and thrive both on campus and beyond. Through health promotion initiatives and student-centered programs, we support the well-being of the whole student and help foster a welcoming, connected campus community.
Our Learning Outcomes:
Through engagement with the office of Student Life and Well-being, students will:
- Be Healthy: Develop the knowledge, skills, and behaviors needed to support their overall well-being and make informed choices that promote health.
- Get Connected: Build meaningful relationships with peers, themselves and the world around them to engage more mindfully with the UMass Lowell community.
- Thrive: Cultivate resilience, purpose, and lifelong well-being practices that support success on campus and beyond.
Overview
The Office of Student Life and Well-being serves as the backbone for health-promoting activities across campus by coordinating strategic approaches that align with campus mission and the principles for health-promoting colleges and universities outlined in the Okanagan Charter. Our approach in working collaboratively for infusing well-being practices is based on the two Calls for Action provided by the Okanagan International Charter for Health Promoting Universities and Colleges.
Calls to Action:
- To embed health into all aspects of campus culture, across the administration, operations, and academic mandates.
- To lead health promotion action and collaboration locally and globally.
