Our Values
Advocacy: We serve and support all students in taking steps toward holistic well-being when navigating barriers. We also contribute to the development of university policies and procedures to improve community well-being
Collaboration: We work with students and partners from our community to develop programs, services and policies that support holistic student wellness.
Inclusion: We commit to students' sense of belonging through deliberate efforts aiming to ensure that all students feel welcomed, respectfully heard and empowered.
Empowerment: We prepare and equip students to gain the knowledge, skills and confidence to live out their personal definition of well-being while actively becoming wellness leaders and role models in their communities.
Equity: We advocate and work actively to challenge and respond to barriers that students may experience on campus that influences their ability to thrive.
Evidence-Informed: We assimilate and recognize the importance of evidence and data from peer-reviewed research. We also recognize that several overlapping systems of oppression have resulted in data that is not inclusive of all bodies and experiences; thus, we use the best available evidence from research, experience and practice to inform college health promotion efforts and policies.
Student-Driven: We rely on the voice of students in all that we do. We engage students by involving them in our work, assessing their needs, and incorporating their feedback in order to best serve the Ohio State community.
