The UT Wellness Committee was established in order to fully address issues of wellness in the University community and supplement the University’s educational goals. The committee, which consists of both staff and students, is charged with providing a forum for wellness initiatives and increasing healthy behaviors in the UT community.
The committee seeks to conduct regular assessments of student health and use these assessments to address various campus wellness issues.
