Wellness Collaborative
What is the Wellness Collaborative?
The Student Life Wellness Collaborative (SLWC) is a group of faculty, staff and students from across campus that are committed to wellness. The SLWC meets monthly. If you would like to be a part of this collaborative, please contact Blake Marble at marble.11@osu.edu. We are always looking for ways to expand our reach and involvement.
Wellness means living a healthy, balanced lifestyle that incorporates positive attitudes and productive behaviors related to social, physical, intellectual, career, emotional, spiritual, financial, creative and environmental aspects of the self.
