Well-being is integral to individual and collective success, and the University of Iowa is taking important steps to champion well-being and create a health promoting campus community.

As a component of the Division of Student Life’s 2021-2026 Strategic Plan, the Graduate and Professional Student Needs Assessment work group has created an assessment tool for all UI graduate and professional students. We want to know what programs, services, and physical spaces on campus help students meet their basic needs, foster their sense of belonging and engagement on campus, and support their leadership development. Their voices are essential to this process.
