creator and director of the program,
WE uses state-of-the-art research on
neuroscience to inform a behavior
change program for students. Enrolled
students take a class together, gain free
access to fitness centers, and engage
in programming around nutrition and
mindfulness to support the four pillars
of the residential program: mindfulness, fitness, nutrition, and mentoring.
Support for WE and its programming
efforts comes from both the top down
and the bottom up - a vital component
for success according to Jeff Rettew,
associate director of the program.
Service-learning and volunteerism
provide other learning opportunities
in many health and wellness LLCs.
Residents of East Carolina's Wellness
LLC engage in initiatives for service
in underprivileged communities, and
volunteering is a key element - the
goal being to have a positive impact on
the surrounding community.
Keeping students at the center
should be the primary goal of any LLC.
The program at St. Catherine has been
successful because the leadership
recognized that many of their students
work multiple jobs on top of their
coursework and needed more flexible
programming as well as involvement
in initiatives based on practicing
wellness while on the go. And LLCs
should be built upon a strong framework grounded in research. As Sandi
Carlisle, director of Northern Illinois'
RecWell department, recommends,
start with a research focus, and model
a new program after other successful
ones that may be a good fit for your
institution. Start out on a small scale
and then expand based on the needs
and demands of students. Vermont
increased enrollment in its wellness
program from 120 students to 850
over the course of three years. Explore how to gain buy-in from faculty
and academic partners. Brad Young,
resident director at Oregon State, notes
that each stakeholder has their own
needs and goals for an LLC and thus
it is difficult to meet them all. With so
many valuable stakeholders, it can be
challenging to take action and make
efficient decisions. Steve Anderson,
director of housing at the University of
Pittsburgh, recommends identifying
one champion for a health and wellness living-learning program.
With the reliance on a combination
of planning, nurturing, support, dedication, and follow-through, it appears
that there isn't that much difference
between developing a healthy personal
lifestyle and creating a healthy livinglearning community.
Katie Sorokas is the director of research
initiatives at the ACUHO-I Home Office.
