What is Environmental Wellness?

Environmental wellness is feeling a sense of comfort, safety and connection with your surroundings. Our physical environment has a direct impact on our overall wellbeing. We spend a lot of time thinking about what's around us. Everyone needs a little something different when it comes to thriving and being productive.

Pictured in the photo mosaic are over 1,000 different UT students, faculty, staff and alumni holding “recycling is beaUTiful" signs, showing support for recycling.
