UW-Green Bay Wellness Committee

The Wellness Committee was founded in 2012 and is committed to promoting and supporting programs that foster the wellness of the campus community.

Why is wellness important to UWGB employees?

  • Employees who are healthy physically and mentally are happier, more engaged, and are enjoyable to work with!
  • Wellness challenges, incentives, events, and activities promote community among employees, improving morale and our health!
