Spirituality plays a significant role in overall health by fostering a sense of purpose and connection to something greater—whether that’s a higher power, nature, or community. Recognizing this, Student Affairs is launching the Spiritual Wellness Program to provide students with the support they need to explore their spirituality, find meaning, overcome challenges, build inner peace, and connect with others.
With more than 750 student employees, including over 500 student leaders and volunteers, Student Affairs knows that working on campus is more than just a job—it’s an opportunity for growth, connection, and real-world learning. Through its SELFIE (Student Employee, Leader, Fellow, and Intern Engagement) program, Student Affairs is reimagining student employment by focusing on what students need to thrive—both in their current roles and in their future careers.
Launching Fall 2025, the EmpowerEd Health Literacy course on Canvas helps University of Utah students balance academics with mental health and wellness. This self-paced, interactive course connects students, staff, and faculty with campus resources and builds essential health literacy skills.
