Look to Michigan Theme Year: Human Health & Well-Being

At the University of Michigan-Flint, we believe that a thriving university is one where every member of our community has the opportunity to learn, grow, contribute and flourish. Our commitment to student success extends beyond the classroom. It includes the health and well-being of our students, faculty and staff, as well as the strength of the communities we serve. This year, through the Look to Michigan Human Health and Well-Being: Transforming Well-Being Across Campus and Community initiative, we have an opportunity to place that commitment at the center of our collective work.

UM-Flint is partnering with our colleagues in Ann Arbor, Dearborn and Michigan Medicine to advance human health and well-being throughout the university system. Below you will find additional information, resources, and activities associated with the HHWB Theme Year.
