Have you had an instructor or TA from the College of Biological Sciences that supported your well-being? Nominate them for the Aggie Well-Being Champion Award by February 16!

The Aggie Well-Being Champions award recognizes instructors and TAs who are particularly attuned to the increasing health and wellness challenges students are facing and are taking concrete steps to support them.

Aggie Well-Being Champions:

• Center diversity, equity, accessibility, and inclusivity in all aspects of their teaching (Ex: ensuring access to all course materials and learning spaces; using inclusive language; scheduling office hours conducive to students' schedules such as evening for working students) 
• Use policies and practices that promote health and well-being (Ex: set soft and hard assignment deadlines and make provisions for appropriate attendance flexibility)
• Improve access to and awareness of health and well-being resources on campus (Ex: highlight health and well-being resources on campus syllabi; actively talk about utilizing campus resources during class; link to resources in Canvas)
• Take care of their own health and well-being (Ex: encourage and model healthy boundary setting; set communication expectations; share their own challenges and stories.)
