Survey
of Student Well-Being Kicks Off Today
All undergraduate students over 18 years old at the University will
find a survey in their e-mail inboxes today that will ask questions
about their health, lifestyle, and how they deal with everyday stressors.
The Survey of Student Well-Being, which is being administered on the
River Campus as part of the Center for the Study and Prevention of Suicide,
will give researchers a better sense of how students cope with the pressures
of college life and what helps them live healthier and happier lives.
