The Wellness program provides a set of workshops designed to help students develop well-rounded and balanced lives. Through these workshops, students develop multiple ways of knowing the self, others, and the world, and they are empowered to engage actively in life’s challenges by making ethical and fulfilling choices grounded in a rich sense of identity, positive disposition, and healthy habits.

While not required, taking Wellness workshops is a great way to add to your Northland College experience.  You will meet other students, as well as people in the larger Chequamegon Bay community.  You can explore areas outside your major, try new things, and expand your knowledge.  Patti Fenner-Leiner, Director of Career Education and Retention, gives this piece of advice, “Students are not required to take Wellness workshops, but will find that doing so enhances their learning outside the classroom.  Because Wellness workshops appear on the co-curricular trnascrpt and are intentional experiences, students are able to leverage Wellness workshops as a distinguishing factor on a resume or graduate school application.  The opportunity to participate in Wellness workshops definitely adds value to a Northland education.”
