Begun in 2018, as an outcome of “Health and Well-Being in Higher Education: A Commitment to Student Success,” a definition was created with the intent of providing a cohesive and actionable definition of well-being specific to higher education settings. First published in May 2020, the definition has now been updated to reflect ongoing community feedback; greater specificity in civic well-being; specific references to anti-racism and other basic human rights; and an expanded list of source references.

Join us to hear more about the definition’s evolution and how we hope it will further enable us to continue thinking collaboratively and critically about well-being in higher education. Visit www.nirsa.org/hands-in to view the definition.
