Developing Your Environmental Wellness
- Engage in sustainable habits such as using the recycle bins located throughout campus and encourage others to properly dispose of their items.
- Spend time outside in nature.
Environmental Wellness In and Out of the Classroom
The environments we design for students, both inside and outside the classroom, play a significant role in their success. Everyone can support wellness by creating flexible, supportive, and safe spaces.
Examples of Environmental Wellness inside and outside of the Classroom
- Hold class or study groups outside when the weather is favorable
- Only print documents when necessary
- Normalize self-care – allow students to step away without asking (restroom breaks, water refill, content is triggering or upsetting) – this normalizes leaving and does not stigmatize a student
- Take regular wellness walks
