Wellbeing initiative update from Provost Espy
Even as we adjust to virtual instruction and telecommuting, our work to advance our strategic vision continues, as does our core mission of student success. To that end, I write to share updates on our Enriching Campus Wellbeing Initiative. If anything, the numerous challenges of the coronavirus pandemic have amplified the importance of this initiative, as well as the need to enhance available health services and support for our Roadrunner community.
UTSA recently completed a holistic external review of Student Health Services (SHS) and Counseling & Mental Health Services (CMHS) conducted by Hodgkins Beckley Consulting, a healthcare management consulting agency that specializes in higher education. As part of their assessment, consultants identified best practices in comprehensive college health programs, conducted on-campus interviews with multiple stakeholders, and benchmarked UTSA’s healthcare services against nine peer institutions with comparable student enrollments and demographics.
