Why a Committee?

To offer the best supports adapted to the CVM community, it's important to stay connected! The CVM well-being committee is a diverse group of people representative of the entire CVM community. In its meetings, the committee meets with the director and co-chairs to discuss ideas and issues, upcoming projects and various educational topics.

Committee's Mission

Through proactive, evidence-informed programming and community collaborations, the Well-being Committee aims to develop and support the individual and collective well-being of faculty, staff, and students at the Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine. The Committee recognizes well-being as both an organizational and individual responsibility and strives to foster an interdependent culture of wellness where all can flourish.
