Students Complete Wellness Leadership Institute

Monday, May 10, 2021, By Gabrielle Lake

First launched in 2019, the Barnes Center at The Arch Wellness Leadership Institute is a health and wellness workshop series. Fitting for any schedule, the workshop series serves as a continuous form of education. Supportive of each student’s unique and ever evolving wellness journey, the Wellness Leadership Institute is a resource to supplement their experience at Syracuse University. Achievable within a semester, students will earn a graduation medallion and a certificate, following the attendance of a workshop within each Dimension of Wellness.

Wellness Leadership Institute student “They say that knowledge is power, and that it most certainly is. But I think we should never be satisfied with the knowledge we come across, for there’s always more to learn, and we risk robbing ourselves of the opportunity to become more in tune with ourselves and the world,” shares  Honorata Lubecka ’24. “Overall, the Wellness Leadership Institute provided me with a better idea of how to think reasonably and make responsible decisions, in all aspects of my life. I am thankful for the Wellness Leadership Institute, and all those who have put in countless time and effort into making it such a remarkable program, for helping me learn what I likely wouldn’t have been able to elsewhere.”

Since February 2020, the Wellness Leadership Institute has hosted 338 workshops and counting, including in-person sessions, virtual live and recorded video offerings. Workshop attendance is now reaching over 3,400 participants from the program’s start.

“I’m a senior student, so maximizing the time in Syracuse is my end goal,” shares Aorui Pi ’21, while reflecting on the Wellness Leadership Institute experience. “Wellness is such an important topic to keep in mind, especially amid the pandemic while everyone isolates themselves. It’s also a great chance to meet people! I’m also a student organization executive member, therefore, having opportunities to learn more about management from workshops like “Anti-Hazing Through the Lens of Consent,” “Relationships and ‘Situationships’,” and more, helped me a lot throughout personal growth.”

Congratulations to the first students to complete the Wellness Leadership Institute!
