- Yielding positive results through our efforts based on metrics provided by our healthcare provider
Wellness Working Group
The Wellness Working Group (WWG) is charged with helping to connect Colby faculty and staff with College and community wellness opportunities and programs, in order to raise awareness of wellness among College employees. The group currently has three major activities per year:
- The Health Fair, held in the fall focuses on health care, internal and external health and wellness resources, biometric screening, and more
- Various educational programs, lunch and learns, and wellness challenges to improve overall habits and health
- Act as health and wellness ambassadors to promote and educate the Colby community on the health and wellness options available
