This essential resource addresses a range of student wellness issues confronting professionals in college and university settings. Building on Wellness Issues for Higher Education, this latest volume comprehensively covers key topics that not only contribute to students’ success in college, but also help students maintain wellness after graduation. Taking a holistic perspective of wellness, coverage includes numerous issues, including body image, time management, financial wellness, dependence and recovery issues, career planning, and civic engagement. It also addresses ways of organizing campus efforts on wellness. Each topical chapter includes proactive wellness advice and prepares the reader to better understand the facts, issues, controversies, misconceptions, and strategies for addressing the issue. This practical guide prepares higher education and student affairs professionals to understand the wellness and health issues contributing to their students’ overall well-being both during and after college.

A focus on a holistic approach to wellness and health issues for students has become one of the critical priorities facing higher education. This new book is an excellent resource for institutional leaders seeking a comprehensive approach to addressing the wide range of health and wellness issues on campus today.

Dr. Anderson’s latest volume moves beyond the focus on retention and graduation alone, to the holistic success of our students in reaching their fullest potential throughout their lifespan. These chapters call out multiple campus stakeholders, as well as practitioners, to serve as partners and collaborators in setting the conditions for health, well-being, and our ultimate goal: student success. This volume also sets a high priority in moving ideas to impacts more quickly, a critical factor in today’s tight fiscal environments.
