Join the Community of PracticeÌý
Your opportunity to network and learn with others.Ìý
The Community of Practice (CoP) is one way of participating in the Wellness Collaborative. The CoP brings together relevant partners across job descriptions, disciplines, department/units, and affiliated colleges to increase awareness of health and wellness-related work across campus. This is done by:Ìý
- Networking – facilitated activities that focus on increasing participant’s understanding of each other’s roles, expertise and professional networks.Ìý
- Professional development andÌýcapacity building – presentations or workshops that increase knowledge and skills of participants. Examples of this could include a presentation about the results of resilience literature review, or workshops on effective strategies for student engagement or program evaluation.Ìý
- Consultation – opportunities to provide input or consultation on various health and wellness-related activities and initiatives across campus.Ìý
- Collaboration – identify opportunities for coordinating and leveraging of each other’s health promotion and wellness work outside of the CoP to minimize duplication.Ìý
Involvement in the Community of Practice is open to all University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ members. Follow to join the CoP MS Team and receive invitiations to upcoming meetings.Ìý
