Assessing a Culture of Integrated Wellbeing
- Registration Closed
Butler University’s framework for student wellbeing, BU|BeWell, has become a campus-wide initiative that provides a foundation for the entire undergraduate student experience. Creating a framework that united programming and outreach across campus necessitated the development of assessment strategies and tools that could show the impact of BU|BeWell for our students.
The presenters will describe the implementation of BU|BeWell, design of a multi-pronged assessment strategy, tools for gathering data, and how initial findings have guided decision-making for various areas at Butler.
Learning Objective(s)
- Participants will be able to describe one method of assessing a campus-wide wellbeing framework.
- Participants will be able to use national surveys (e.g. NSSE) to assess a campus-wide wellbeing framework.
- Participants will be able to develop a campus-wide group of stakeholders to support and promote their wellbeing framework
