The goal of the School Life and Wellness Committee is to support the MTSA Vision and Core Values, which include a wholistic approach to education, healthcare and a balanced lifestyle, along with the development of a life of service.
The School Life and Wellness Committee disseminates information and resources related to the interrelated dimensions of wellness, including but not limited to the following:
- Physical Wellness
- Mental Wellness
- Spiritual Wellness
- Academic/Occupational Wellness
- Safety
- Community
The committee includes student representatives from each Practice Doctorate cohort, student representatives from the online programs, and MTSA staff and faculty.
The committee meets once a semester to discuss improvements to campus spaces, topics that arise in day-to-day life at MTSA, and opportunities that would benefit and enhance the overall well-being of each student.
The School Life and Wellness Committee also plans one event each semester. These events allow students, staff, and faculty to congregate. Past events have included chili cookoffs, wellness fairs, and baking contests.
The committee also provides snacks to students during exam week as a way to decrease stress and encourage students to take a break from studying.
The committee also organizes Service Month each year. See Community Service (ADD LINK) for more information.
