2023 Symposium

Wellness through an Inclusive Lens

Join us for our third annual virtual LICSPA Symposium on May 12, 2023, from 10 a.m. –12 p.m. EST.

A Multi-Faceted Approach to Wellness for our Students and Staff Populations

After an ever-changing time in higher education, professional staff and students face a challenge that is not new, but that has become more prevalent in all aspects of our lives: taking care of ourselves. Oftentimes, wellness can be a looked over topic by both students and staff/faculty, the result being harm to themselves and those around them. This symposium serves to re-emphasize the importance of all aspects and areas of wellness. With the assistance of our panelists who all have one or more aspects of wellness within their realm, we desire to answer the question: How do we, as professionals, promote and facilitate proper wellness strategies in both ours and students’ lives? And further, how do we do this in an equitable way?

Join our panelists and specialists as they address this topic at our virtual LICSPA Symposium on Friday, May 12, 2023, 10–12:00 p.m.
