    Good Practice Encourages Student – Instructor Contact

    Frequent student – instructor contact in and out of classes is an important factor in student motivation and involvement. Instructor concern helps

    students get through rough times and keep on working. Knowing a few instructors well enhances students’ intellectual commitment and

    encourages them to think about their own values and future plans.

    Implementation Ideas:

     Share past experiences, values, and attitudes.


     Design an activity that brings students to your office during the first weeks of class.
     Try to get to know your students by name by the end of the first three weeks of the term.
     Attend, support, and sponsor events led by student groups.
     Treat students as human beings with full real lives; ask how they are doing.
     Hold “out of class” review sessions.
     Use email regularly to encourage and inform.
     Hold regular “hours” in the Michigan Union or residence halls where students can stop by for informal visits.
     Take students to professional meetings or other events in your field

    Health, Wellness, and Risk Factors


    Health is defined as the overall mental and physical state of a person; the absence of disease.
    This isn't entirely the same thing as wellness. Wellness refers to the state of being in optimal mental and physical
    health.
    But wellness is more than that. It's about living a life full of personal responsibility and therefore taking proactive steps
    for one's entire well-being.
    This means that a person living life very well controls risk factors that can harm them. Risk factors are different types
    of actions or conditions that increase a person's chances for illness or injury.
    Let's take a look at just some risk factors. Smoking is a risk factor. It is a risk factor for developing lung cancer among
    many other terrible problems. Mountain climbing is a risk factor. It is a risk factor for everything from broken bones to a
    swollen brain.
    Alcohol is a risk factor. It is a risk factor for developing liver damage. Unprotected sex is a risk factor as well. We all
    know that you can get some very nasty sexually transmitted diseases with unprotected sex, including HIV.

    Types of Wellness
    That being said, just like there are many different types of risk factors, there are actually different dimensions of
    wellness as well - no pun intended there. Actually, there are several of them. Let's take a look at what they are.
    One dimension of wellness is physical. This means we exercise, eat well, practice safe sex, don't do any dangerous
    activities like jumping off of buildings, and so on. Physical fitness increases physical wellness. By being physically fit
    and well, you are better able to take care of yourself and others, especially in a time of need. You are also better able to
    prevent illness and disease.
    Another dimension is intellectual: Critical thinking, being curious, and always learning new things. Developing
    intellectual wellness is critical not only to help a person grow in school and do better at work, but it actually prevents the
    onset of disease. It's been shown that people who regularly learn new things and challenge their mind can stave off
    many mental health problems.
    A further dimension is emotional: Being confident, having a solid self-esteem, building trust, and being able to
    understand another's feelings. A person who is emotionally well is aware of their feelings and is able to properly cope
    with them. Emotional wellness also implies a person can deal well with stressful situations.
    Furthermore, there is an interpersonal dimension of wellness: Having good communication skills, the ability to establish
    good and healthy long-term relationships, and having good relationships with family and friends. Interpersonal
    relationships are very important in order to maintain a good emotional and physical state of being. We are, of course,
    'pack animals,' so to speak, that depend on one another to survive and live well.
    There is also a spiritual dimension of wellness: Developing compassion, forgiveness, being caring, having a sense of
    purpose and meaning in life. Spiritual wellness doesn't automatically imply the need for religion in a person's life. These
    same things can just as easily be developed and found through things like nature, meditation, volunteer work,

    Wellness is an active process of becoming aware of and making choices toward a healthy and fulfilling
    life. Wellness is more than being free from illness, it is a dynamic process of change and growth.

    "...a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, and not merely the
    absence of disease or infirmity."
    - The World Health Organization
    "a conscious, self-directed and evolving process of achieving full potential."
    - The National Wellness Institute
    Why Wellness Matters
    Maintaining an optimal level of wellness is absolutely crucial to live a higher quality life. Wellness
    matters. Wellness matters because everything we do and every emotion we feel relates to our
    well-being. In turn, our well-being directly affects our actions and emotions. It’s an ongoing circle.
    Therefore, it is important for everyone to achieve optimal wellness in order to subdue stress, reduce the
    risk of illness and ensure positive interactions.
