Inclusive Excellence
Inclusive Excellence at CHWB
The Center for Health and Wellbeing (CHWB) is committed to maintaining healthcare and health promotion experiences that are welcoming, equitable and inclusive to individuals of all identities and backgrounds including, but not limited to, sex, gender, race, sexual orientation, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, religion, and age. Through inclusive excellence CHWB focuses on addressing the ever-present barriers in health, and works with students to find solutions to reduce and remove the numerous barriers that prohibit individuals from full participation in accessing care and their college experience. This approach is aspirational and always a work in progress, and we devote time and energy to hiring staff who support and work toward fulfilling this mission.
We work to empower students to be intentional about the ways in which they practice and engage with their well-being in their day to day lives. While there are many factors affecting the ways in which students do this — such as social determinants of health — there are many ways in which students can inform positive decisions and practices that are right for them. These practices, in tandem with connection to the environment, communities around you and planetary health, work to disrupt the systems of power and oppression in the well-being field.
