Wellness Committee

Charge

The purpose of the Well-Being committee is to assess and advise on policies, processes, and protocols that will enhance a supportive environment that promotes the mental, emotional, physical, financial, social, and community well-being of students, faculty, and staff of the University of Houston-Downtown.

The well-being committee is responsible for establishing a long-term plan supporting the health and well-being of the members of the UHD community. Its charge includes conducting regular needs assessments, analyzing trends, and translating those into policy and program recommendations for university leadership, as well as ensuring that UHD’s collective well-being approach is collaborative and comprehensive.

Composition

The committee will be comprised of 19 members (including 3 ex-officio members), representing key areas and stakeholder groups across the institution. Additional members may be added as deemed necessary by the committee. Sub and ad-hoc committees will be formed to address specific populations, emergent issues, or execute special projects, meeting as necessary. The committee will report jointly to the Provost & Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs, Vice President for Human Resources, and Vice President for Student Success and Student Life, who serve as ex-officio members.
