Twelve months of wellness: September 2022

What is important, what matters, what is precious.

When something is important, we spend time on it, take care of it, grow it. When something is precious, we may do the same and also be protective.  

As we think about what matters, is important and is precious, we are reminded that we are part of a herd in which each member is important, matters and is precious. In the College of Arts and Sciences, we are helping to protect our herd with a range of wellness resources. As this semester begins, remember that you are part of the herd, are important, do matter and are worth protecting.

What is Let's CU Well?

Be Well is a college initiative based on the belief that members of our community are our most valuable asset. We aim to bring the Be Well eight dimensions of wellness to life by encouraging behaviors that generate wellness for students, employees and community members in a fun, inclusive and accessible way. Be Well promotes the benefits associated with college life by drawing upon research and expertise of our CU faculty and also amplifying the range of wellness resources campus has to offer.

The Let’s CU Well speaker series allows arts and sciences researchers and practitioners to interpret the eight dimensions of wellness from their perspective, thus articulating the value of a liberal arts education through the lens of wellness and overall health.

The College of Arts and Sciences Let’s CU Well experts of the month provide wellness content for lectures, participant prompts and Be Well promotional material. Experts are encouraged to articulate wellness through the lens of their Research, Scholarship and Creative Practice.

Evidence-based acupressure

Since 2002, the CAIRR Neuroscience Laboratory in the Psychology and Neuroscience Department has conducted clinical research studies about the efficacy of acupressure for stress, cardiovascular function in stroke survivors, and mild traumatic brain injury in both civilian and veteran populations. From these, an evidence base has emerged, providing the foundation for the ITEA Plus webpage platform.
