Promoting Whole Person Well-Being: Be Well BU
Belmont University’s Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC) Quality Enhancement Plan Committee (QEP) used institutional research findings, focus group information, and student, faculty and staff interviews and surveys to determine that the focus of the University’s QEP would be student well-being. From these data, the Committee learned that many health promotion and wellness courses and activities are available to students, but the efforts are disconnected, may not be accessible to some students and have not been consistently linked to student outcomes. Thus, the Committee recommends the creation of a one-stop-shop program for linking students to appropriate curricular and co-curricular health promotion and well-being activities and services and to coordinate the design, implementation and evaluation of future programming. The name of the QEP and the program for student well-being will be, Be Well BU.
