​Inter-association Wellbeing Research: CUNY + WELL Framework

This report was prepared by Micah M. Griffin, Ph.D. an independent consultant for NASPA – Student Affairs Administrators in Higher Education (NASPA) through a collaborative partnership with the American College Health Association (ACHA) and NIRSA: Leaders in Collegiate Recreation (NIRSA).

Funding to complete this research was made possible through an inter-association call to action to create a data framework from which to develop evidence-based activities to improve the health and well-being of the entire campus community. The views in this report reflect data collected from participants and aim to support the development of a well-being framework specifically for universities with multi-campus systems. Outcomes support fostering a strategic approach to integrating well-being in student health services across a university system. The framework can also be applied to a single campus.

Health and Wellbeing in Higher Education: A Commitment to Student Success was first published in March 2018 and has been steadily gaining support and partnership ever since. Among the Commitment’s calls to action is one focused on convening efforts, led by ACHA, NASPA, and NIRSA, to lean into research and develop evidence-based activities to improve health and wellbeing of the entire campus community
