Marlin Wellness is an initiative to intentionally engage students in the ten pillars of wellness: intellectual, social, physical, emotional, spiritual, environmental, occupational, community, digital, and financial.
Members of the Marlin community can find more information about wellness events through department social media platforms, postings around campus, the Campus Activities calendar, and University email. Attending Marlin Wellness events offers the opportunity to win prizes and entries into event, semester, and year-long grand prizes.
Intellectual
Growing intellectually, maintaining curiosity about all there is to learn, valuing lifelong learning, and responding positively to intellectual challenges.
Physical
Caring for your body to stay healthy now and in the future.
Emotional
Understanding and respecting your feelings, values, and attitudes; managing your emotions in a constructive way; and feeling positive and enthusiastic about your life.
Spiritual
Cultivating a sense of purpose in life and aligning your core values with everyday actions. Fostering a deep connection to your faith, beliefs, and sense of meaning, and allowing that to guide how you live and engage with the world.
Environmental
Understanding how your social, natural, and built environments affect your health and well-being; being aware of the unstable state of the earth and the effects of your daily habits on the physical environment; demonstrating commitment to a healthy planet.
Occupational
Preparing for and participating in work that provides personal satisfaction and life enrichment that is consistent with your values, goals, and lifestyle.
Financial
Managing your resources to live within your means, making informed financial decisions and investments, setting realistic goals, and preparing for short-term and long-term needs or emergencies.
In addition to the variety of programs offered throughout each term, the Marlin Wellness Council hosts T.B.I.F. (Thank Bob It's Friday) activities each Friday afternoon during the academic year to help bring Marlins together and provide opportunities around one or more pillars of wellness.
