Beacon 健康 Initiative

At 马塞诸斯州大学的 Boston, we believe in the well-being of every member of our community.

健康 is more than just physical health; it encompasses our mental, academic, psychosocial, intellectual, spiritual, financial, and ecological well-being. As a university, we understand the importance of creating an environment that supports and enhances the health and wellness of our 学生, 教师, 工作人员, and the broader community.

Our 愿景

We are thrilled to announce the launch of the Beacon 健康 Initiative, a comprehensive program aimed at promoting health and well-being across our university. The Beacon 健康 Initiative seeks to strengthen the coordination of health promotion efforts throughout the university. 

Our objective is to embed health promotion in everything we do, making it an integral part of our culture and structures. This holistic approach will involve engaging every unit and corner of our campus to incorporate health promotion activities into daily work, fostering a collaborative environment of mindfulness for every member of the 马塞诸斯州大学的 Boston community.

Becoming Leaders in 健康 Promotion

马塞诸斯州大学的 Boston, with its commitment to research, 教学, community engagement, diversity, and health equity, is uniquely positioned to lead in modeling health promotion strategies. The Beacon 健康 Initiative aligns with a growing movement in higher education, making health and well-being a core aspiration of campus life. We aim to create an ecology of systems and opportunities for wellness, setting the standard for universities nationwide.

 

Beacon 健康 Commission

As a significant step forward, we plan to establish the Beacon 健康 Commission. Comprising 教师, 学生, administrators, and experts, this commission will study UMB’s wellness and health promotion efforts and make recommendations about how we can improve. Three sub-committees will focus on 学生, 教师 and 工作人员, and the community, with an additional coordinating committee ensuring collaboration across the university.
