Healthy Campus 2030 is a campus-wide assessment initiative that is laser focused on improving student and employee health metrics by the end of the decade. Healthy Campus 2030 is modeled after the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Healthy People 2030 initiative and is tailored to address factors that are actionable within the scope of higher education.
Data from 2019-2021 was evaluated to identify areas of greatest need along with an emphasis on addressing important factors that impact student health, well-being, and academic success. The IUPUI Wellness Coalition, consultants from Prevention Insights in the School of Public Health at Indiana University-Bloomington, and stakeholders from across the campus deliberated to select student objectives and set numerical targets. 31 participants served on 7 working groups representing different student health topics, and each topic working group met up to 4 times to deliberate. Some participants served on more than one working group.
To increase focus and drive action, no more than 5 objectives were selected for each category. Each objective includes a baseline measurement, a numerical target for the end of the decade, target methodology, and an identifiable and repeatable data source to allow future comparison.
The IUPUI Wellness Coalition is working to reach health targets for both student and employee objectives by the year 2030. Join the Coalition at an upcoming meeting or contact Eric Teske at erictesk@iupui.edu.
