About Us
Our Mission
The mission of UMW Health and Wellness is to cultivate a healthy and inclusive campus community. Through programming, advocacy, and collaborative relationships, Health and Wellness focuses on enhancing all facets of well-being among students, faculty members, and staff members. In support of UMW’s ASPIRE values, Health and Wellness builds and strengthens institutional cultures, practices, and protocols through which all community members can learn and thrive.
Our Vision
The vision of Health and Wellness is for all UMW community members to view wellness as a core value for themselves and the institution.
Who are we?
As part of the Division of Student Affairs, Health and Wellness encompasses several offices for which community well-being is a central aspect of the mission: the Talley Center for Counseling Services, the Student Health Center, the Center for Prevention and Education, and Campus Recreation.
We in Health and Wellness celebrate a culture where wellness is central to the UMW experience for students and employees. We recognize and encourage the many UMW offices that integrate well-being into their strategic planning and work. Above all, we want all community members to know that their well-being matters.
