Dimensions of Wellness
The 10 Dimensions of Wellness were introduced to Roger Williams in 2023 to emphasize the importance of holistic wellness in our campus community. Through these various dimensions, students learn how to balance their day-to-day responsibilities and expectations. Here at 91º£½ÇÂÒÂ×, we strive to promote the 10 dimensions of wellness through various events, workshops, and campaigns. The Health and Wellness Educators work on 5 Teams (Alcohol/Other Drugs, Mental Health, Physical Health, Social/Digital Health, and Sex Education/Healthy Relationships) to promote health & wellness and serve as ambassadors to the campus.
