UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN River Falls

UWRF Employee Wellness

The definition and practice of wellness is different for everyone. Starting to improve your personal wellness may seem overwhelming if you don't know where to begin.

The UWRF Wellness Committee has taken the eight commonly recognized pillars of wellness and assigned each one to a month during the academic year. Throughout that month, speakers, special programming, and campus-wide events have been planned to help you increase your wellness for that specific pillar.

Other activities and programs can be found in the ongoing section under each pillar or in the Ongoing Activities/Benefits tab. These are not date or time specific activities.
