Tactics
Increase health and wellness programming
As a part of our Healthy Campus Initiative we are expanding programming to educate students and family members about personal health and wellness planning and decision making.
Build expectations for healthy student behaviors
FSU is building expectations for students to improve their resiliency, to increase their engagement in campus recreation and fitness and to reduce their risk-taking behaviors with drugs and alcohol.
Create pathways for health interventions
A key part of the Healthy Campus Initiative is recognizing students with mental, physical and financial health concerns and creating a matrix of services that emphasize early intervention and appropriate referral and care.
