Wellness Institute

The ECU Employee Wellness Institute (WI) was initiated in Spring 2003. It is a collaborative effort between the Department of Human Resources and Campus Recreation and Wellness. The mission of the WI is twofold: to promote organizational and individual wellness among members and the campus community and to foster adoption of a wellness culture throughout campus. The benefits that can be achieved as a result of the WI are numerous and include improved health, reduced stress and anxiety, heightened personal performance, reduced sick leave, reduced medical costs, and improved interpersonal relationships. It encourages participants to adopt a healthy lifestyle and to discover their highest potential by striving to reach an optimal state of mind, body, and spirit.
