As Wellness Director, Robert’s goal is to revamp wellness initiatives among graduate and professional students by reacclimating students to life on campus following lockdowns caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and to conduct an evaluation of student wellness services on campus. His goals center on spreading information regarding health and wellness services on campus, and to co-program meaningful wellness-oriented events that safely bring students together after months in isolation.
