Wellness

Physical, Psychological, Social, Emotional, Spiritual

The Fitness, Wellness, and Recreation Department will unveil a modest selection of new wellness programs beginning spring 2007 and will increase programming in both number and scope over the next five years. Members will have the opportunity to participate in variety of wellness seminars and specialized services designed to facilitate greater self-awareness and responsibility along one’s path to living a full and healthy life.

A campus-wide Wellness Committee had its inaugural meeting on August 29, 2007.  Establishing a Faculty/Staff Wellness program was a priority, and the result was Passport to Wellness.  The rallying cry is "MOVE MORE - EAT BETTER", and Westminster employees are encouraged, among other things, to get a free Fitness Assessment (available through the FWRD's Strength & Cardio Attendants), attend aerobic exercise classes, eat at least 2.5 cups of fruit/vegetables most days, and experience a meditation class.  Participants can look forward to earning points good toward massage, personal training, and other rewards.

Also note that in 2007, as a result of an ongoing commitment to employee wellness, Westminster College received a Silver Level Award from the Utah Council for Worksite Health Promotion.
