What do Wellness Ambassadors do?

Wellness Ambassadors serve as the eyes and ears of WorkLife Programs in individual departments on campus.  Their main responsibility is to help motivate colleagues to achieve healthier lifestyles.  They do this by learning about the variety of campus resources, sharing suggestions and ideas in committee meetings, and actively advocating wellness and worklife activities among their co-workers.

How are Wellness Ambassadors involved?

The Wellness Ambassadors meet with a full committee four times per year.  In addition to serving on the full committee, Wellness Ambassadors serve on a subcommittee, volunteer at presentations/events, and disseminate information to faculty and staff regarding health promotion activities.
