The WellBeingU Champion award seeks to recognize students, faculty, and staff for their contributions toward creating a culture of well-being at Cal State LA. A WellBeingU Champion should exemplify successful integration of well-being into the framework of University life as a means of supporting student success.
Dedication to Well-Being
Past Champions
Each year, the Cal State LA community honors students, faculty, and staff whose approach to well-being fosters in others their own practice, whose expertise has educated others on the importance of mental and physical well-being, and whose dedication to well-being has contributed to the success of Cal State LA students and the wider University community.
WellBeingU Champions have included students, faculty, and staff who have integrated well-being into their classroom environments, student leadership, counseling and advising, and many other ways.
