Additionally, the Wellness Committee will be in active communication with other universities’ Wellness administrators in Ontario to determine the best initiatives and resources we can provide to help students with online learning. As this is a new situation that everyone is still learning to adjust to, we want to be sure we are involved and contributing to the mental health/wellness conversation to better serve McMaster Engineering students.

We will also be pushing to be very involved on social media, regularly posting practical wellness tips and practices to remind students to put their health first. Additionally, we want to foster a community within McMaster Engineering that understands the value of taking care of one’s self and helping others, which will be done through the creation of wellness initiatives and challenges throughout the year to push students to be more conscious of their good and bad habits. Through raising awareness and incentivising students to address their wellness habits and goals, we believe students can succeed with achieving their goals, all the while feeling great while they do it.
