Health and Wellness Student Leadership Board members provide honest, thorough, and critical feedback to questions and scenarios to help guide the work of student health and wellness at ISU, including providing feedback on programs, initiatives, marketing efforts, strategic planning, and more.
Feedback and engagement helps the Associate Vice President for Student Health and Wellness (AVP) and Student Health and Wellness Unit create new programming, assist in effective student messaging, and facilitate an open channel of constructive feedback regarding how university operations influence the student experience around health and wellness.
The board meets in-person once per month with the AVP for Student Health and Wellness and the Directors of the Student Health and Wellness Unit. The board also receives online engagement opportunities via Canvas or email and members are expected to respond to the topic presented. Depending on the topic and urgency, members have several hours or several days to respond to requests for feedback. Additional feedback may also include participation in focus groups or attendance at town hall meetings. Members may also be asked to assist with Student Health and Wellness events throughout the year.
