Red Dragon Wellness is a prominent piece of SUNY Cortland's 2-24-2030 Strategic Plan: Focus for a Bright Future. Red Dragon Wellness encompasses the dimensions of personal and organization health. It is a commitment to a culture or care where our language, actions, policies, and decision are framed around concern and compassion for individuals. Wellness includes a sense of belonging where people feel seen, heard, and validated. This involves looking at aspects of wellness for our students and employees, committing to be an inclusive campus, and having an infrastructure that meets the needs of the people within the organization and responding to extern al factors affecting our community.
As part of the university's commitment to Red Dragon Wellness, the division of student affairs utilizes an integrated model of wellness that looks at students' holistically through their entire experience on our campus and in our community. This integrated model of wellness is designed to enhance students' understanding of the eight dimensions of wellness and help students to develop and strengthen skills and strategies for well-being.
