Health Education Prize

The Health Education Prize is awarded annually by WesWELL to the graduating senior who best exemplifies the office's mission:                                              

It is the mission of WesWELL, the Office of Health Education to promote mindfulness and responsibility in all areas of health and wellness in order to prevent disease, injury and other health problems. We encourage good health of mind, body and spirit by helping members of the Wesleyan community, particularly students, connect with resources and gain knowledge that will aid in the enhancement of their well-being, encourage self-discovery, and support their intellectual proficiency and academic success.

The student who is chosen for this prize will have demonstrated a strong commitment to enhancing health promotion efforts at Wesleyan, has sought to improve the health and well-being of the Wesleyan community, and served as a positive role model to their peers at Wesleyan and beyond. Nominees must be graduating in the current academic year (either December or May). The recipient is awarded a $100.00 by WesWELL.

Nomination Process

Nominations for the Health Education Prize will be accepted each spring via a form linked on this page. The prize recipient will be selected by the WesWELL staff, then announced at the annual Cardinal Community Awards ceremony and honored at the Academic Scholarships, Fellowship and Prizes reception, typically held in late April or early May.
