University Health and Wellbeing Plan

University Health and Wellbeing (UHW) has been working diligently with our partners over the past 18 months to create a five-year strategic health and wellbeing plan to enable campus partners to foster a culture of health and wellbeing.

Since the start of this project, UHW and Michigan Public Health Institute (MPHI) have collaborated closely, leveraging best practices to assess the needs and health trends within the MSU community. One of our guiding principles in this workstream has been elevating community voices. We collected and analyzed feedback from over 5,000 Spartans through surveys, focus groups, key informant interviews, and community sessions. Our approach was designed to be inclusive, with special attention to minoritized groups such as, but not limited, to BIPOC, North American Indigenous individuals, those with disabilities, and student athletes.

The priorities and objectives outlined will inform the development of an actionable and data-driven University Health and Wellbeing Plan that will guide efforts over the next five years. We welcome your input to ensure that the plan is as robust as possible, acknowledging that it may evolve over time to meet the changing needs of students, faculty, and staff.

We invite you to review the University Health and Wellbeing Plan and provide any feedback you may have on the priorities by November 15.
