University Well-Being

The Kutztown University Well-being Committee is comprised of students, faculty, and staff who are committed to the concept of holistic well-being and who strive to create programming that address the social, emotional, physical, and mental well-being of all. Achieving this is a continuous journey. Thank you for coming along on the ride!

We aspire to:

  • Create an academic and social environment that cares for the mind, body, and spirit to broaden personal potential.

  • Cultivate a culture of honor respect, belonging and resilience wherein we promote well-being through diversity, self-reflection, and boundaries.

  • Empower authenticity and inclusivity of personal wellness goals that prioritize balance and well-being.

  • Prioritize the betterment of the individual, the community, and the University as a whole.

Tips to help obtain optimal well-being:

  1. Establish healthy habits: whether that be a daily schedule that includes physical activity or meal planning, setting healthy habits during the first weeks of the semester is helpful to well-being.
  2. Sleep: lack of sleep can reduce the ability to focus. Make sure you are practicing a healthy sleep routine. Take a nap!
  3. Finances: look into applying for a campus job via Handshake or look into the campus credit union, PSECU.
  4. Get involved on campus: meet new people, volunteer, and join clubs. Check out Engage.
  5. Stress is real: make sure you are well acquainted with campus resources, such as our Health and Wellness Center or Student Success Center to name a couple, to help manage stress.
