Campus Well-being: Solving the Health Inequity Puzzle
Credits: 3
Grad Meth: Reg, P-F
The last few years have highlighted the need to focus greater effort on health and well-being, and the challenge of doing it equitably. College campuses, in particular, have made student care and equitable access a priority. Yet, the data suggest that we are still not succeeding across the board. This seminar takes the current student body at UMD as its case study to understand the range of factors that contribute to well-being and health disparities. Students will review reports and relevant literature about the most recent campus surveys: the University New Student Census, Withdrawal Survey, the Food Access & Student Well-being Study, and surveys completed by Counseling Center clients. They will apply the study findings to their everyday lives, formulate evidence-based recommendations regarding student programs/services, brainstorm questions to be included in future campus surveys, and test ways to use research to promote positive change for all.
HNUH288V is part of the Health Matters thematic cluster and pairs with HNUH288B to complete the cluster. Health Matters courses will be offeredthrough Spring 2025.
