Well-being Programs
The Â鶹¶ÌÊÓƵ State of Well-being is proud to offer the following programs for the 2026 - 2027 Academic Year.
Â鶹¶ÌÊÓƵ has partnered with Haymaker Farmers' Market to bring a farmer's market to the Â鶹¶ÌÊÓƵ campus. The Â鶹¶ÌÊÓƵ State Farmers' Market provides students with opportunities to learn about the local farming community, select fresh produce and connect with the broader Â鶹¶ÌÊÓƵ community in addition to creating a community around food with a warm, friendly and fun environment. The market will include selling crafts (photography, prints, glass, fiber) and educational workshops related to food as well as performances (music, dance, theater).
The Â鶹¶ÌÊÓƵ State Farmers' Market is a perfect example of programming that exposes the university community to nutritious local foods, products, farms and agriculture. The collaborative project aligns perfectly with the mission of the Â鶹¶ÌÊÓƵ State of Well-being and highlights the new eight dimensions of well-being framework promoted on our campus.
