The university is on a mission: create a workplace culture of health where our faculty and staff thrive. Achieving this goal takes small changes that happen one unit, department and area at a time. Be a part of this change - sign up as an MHealthy Champion!

Champions are staff and faculty members who volunteer to help create a healthier workplace within their units. With MHealthy's help, you'll be able to:

Tailor health and wellness programs that best fit your area's needs
Determine and work to achieve your area's health improvement goals
Grow your area’s healthy workplace culture

If you are enthusiastic about health and well-being (this does not necessarily mean being the healthiest person in the office) and like to positively motivate others, then learn more about how to become an MHealthy Champion here.

There's a healthier way to plan your next meeting or event. Use the "Eat Smarter: A Healthier Way to Cater" Guide, a handy resource to restaurants and university services offering smarter food options on or near campus. This guide is great for planning your entire menu or just making a few simple changes. Either way, your meeting participants will appreciate it – a healthy menu will leave them feeling less sluggish, more satisfied, and more energized throughout the entire day.
