The journey towards good health and well-being is often very personal, but that doesn’t mean you have to travel alone! Often, we need encouragement and shared experiences with others. Sharing our experiences with others helps create a culture that celebrates and inspires individuals to prioritize and contribute to their overall well-being.
The Role of Wellness Ambassador
Wellness Ambassadors advocate for their unit's wellness needs with Life & Work Connections, help share wellness services of interest to their colleagues, and invite co-workers to participate in wellness activities. In doing so, they personify each of the University's values of integrity, compassion, exploration, adaptation, inclusion, and determination.
"The activities organized by our ambassador have been so awesome. They've helped me to regularly build time in to address my own personal wellness, and I feel like they also help the college be a stronger team."
— Paige Hacker Bravo, Nurse Simulation Specialist, College of Nursing

Wellness Ambassador: Christina Sanchez
I’ve always been active and know the importance of staying healthy and maintaining a stress-free lifestyle. Wellness includes many areas, such as personal relationships, networking with coworkers, financial independence, and daily exercise, just to name a few. I try to create activities that will help us meet some of these important factors.
Wellness Ambassador: Rebecca Auslander
My main motivation for wellness stems from one of my core values in life which is to find, create, and spread joy through fun. People don't play enough anymore, and my position as a Wellness Ambassador became the perfect opportunity to foster this piece of wellness in my department.
