Out of Sight, But Not Out of Mind: Creating a Systemic Culture of Holistic Wellness for Online Students

Overview
Description
There is a lack of current research that examines well-being and systematic/holistic approaches to ensuring wellness among students enrolled in online programs. Numerous campus-based services have been developed over the years to support the traditional undergraduate student holistic wellness. Many universities, that dually enroll students in online programs and traditional programs, claim that students are provided access to on-campus services –yet much is to be desired in the matter of a systematic approach to tailoring these resources to meet specific needs and access preferences of each student population. This presentation will focus on an exploratory research project to gain information from current online students regarding their holistic wellness across six distinct categories (e.g., physical, social, emotional, spiritual, and environmental wellness).
