Goals & Strategies For 2019-2022

The Wellness Network has determined four goals to help advance the mission of the organization:

  1. Connection and Collaboration: Engage partners across campus to prioritize and incorporate wellness throughout university life.
  2. Diversity and Inclusion: Integrate diversity and inclusion into the work done by Wellness Network.
  3. Communication: Highlight the existing ways the UT community prioritizes health and wellness in an effort to increase visibility of how UT prioritizes well-being.
  4. Administration: Align Wellness Network infrastructure and systems for maximum success as an organization.

The Wellness Network Leadership Team identified strategies to accompany each goal and guide us toward action. The strategies are divided into two categories:

  • Internal Strategies: Reflect the work that will be done within Wellness Network teams, committees, and meetings.
  • External Strategies: Reflect the work that Wellness Network will do to meet the needs of the UT Austin campus community.
