Annual College Community Conference

Each year faculty, staff, and students gather to explore and discuss topics of importance to the  Ursinus community. The 2021-22 Community Conference was held on Wednesday, March 2, with the theme  “Wellbeing: Yours, Mine, and Ours.”

The community conference included discussions about how we how we talk about diversity and class. 1 Wellness point was awarded for conference attendance.

We looked at the six dimensions of wellness focusing on concrete ways to improve our own wellbeing personally and professionally while supporting others in their journey towards healthier lifestyles. It was a day of camaraderie and real tools to enhance our lives at home, at work, and in the classroom.

Many joined us for the entire program, but it was designed to allow faculty, staff, and students to take part as their class and meeting schedules permited.
