Inter-association Well-being Collaborative

A commitment to wellbeing in higher education
We believe it is time to transcend reactive, siloed, programmatic approaches to wellbeing and establish systemic, proactive, promising initiatives for campus communities. While students must receive appropriate and reactive care when needed, there are large-scale health benefits to systemic approaches that allow campus communities to flourish and thrive.

More than 20 associations from across higher education have come together to formalize the next iteration of our shared work: the Inter-association Well-being Collaborative (IWC). The IWC represents the next phase in a growing and unified movement to elevate wellbeing across higher education. This Collaborative builds upon the foundational work of the Health and Wellbeing in Higher Education: A Commitment to Student Success. Much has changed across higher education since that original inter-association Commitment was authored; however, its vision endures.
