Student health and wellness issues have become priorities for higher education administrators, faculty, and staff. As professionals, we are called to move away from reactive and siloed programming and instead focus on proactive, collaborative initiatives for our campus communities. The purpose of this program is to present an overview of how both Ohio State University and the University of Kentucky worked collaboratively utilizing the theoretical underpinnings of health promotion and mental health outreach, effective coalition building, as well as, strategic planning to create a campus-wide approach and partnership to address student well-being. 

This presentation will highlight the importance of collaborative partnerships between campus partners ranging from academic departments to student affairs. The presenters will briefly describe the process used to onboard unsuspecting campus partnerships that were essential to meet student well-being needs and provide foundational support for multiple campus-wide wellbeing initiatives. In addition to discussing challenges and lessons learned on the two individual campuses, presenters will introduce how their partnership across state lines has helped them continue to sustain and grow in coordinating and enhancing student wellbeing.

Learning Objectives:

As a result of participating in this program, learners will be able to: 

  1. Gain an understanding of the Collective Impact model.
  2. Describe the importance of connecting to multiple systems outside of traditional wellness partners to decrease health disparities and to create an inclusive environment of belongingness and wellbeing.
  3. Apply learning and a health equity lens to their individual campus needs.
