CALS Community of Wellness

About Us

The CALS Community of Wellness (formerly the Wellness Committee) provides education and opportunities to support and promote the health and well-being of the CALS community. Supporting physical and emotional health positively impacts our ability to develop and maintain healthy relationships at home and work. Membership is open to faculty, academic staff, and university staff. We welcome individuals from all backgrounds and identities. Meetings are scheduled on a monthly basis. This is a volunteer-based committee consisting of members who would like to support the CALS community in pursuit of health and well-being goals through the seven dimensions of wellness.

Have a question, suggestion or want to join the initiative? Get in touch with us at wellness@cals.wisc.edu.
