Student Wellbeing from the Institutional Perspective: A New Method of Assessment
- Registration Closed
Students’ wellbeing can affect their retention, GPA, mental and physical health, and learning. Although institutions cannot control the levels of individual wellbeing that students bring with them to college, they can control the supports provided to students post-enrollment. Butler University has developed a survey that allows institutions to collect student perceptions on areas of strength and opportunity in institutional support for various aspects of their wellbeing while they are on campus. Session attendees will learn about the Student Wellbeing Institutional Support Survey (SWISS), the research base on which it is built, and how it can be used at other institutions.
Learning Objective(s)
- Program attendees will learn about empirical research that illustrates why institutions should emphasize multifaceted support for student wellbeing.
- Program attendees will learn about why an institution-level survey tool is necessary to provide actionable information for student wellbeing interventions.
- Program attendees will learn about how results from SWISS can provide a roadmap for institutions to create a campus environment more focused on student wellbeing.
