A brief description of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome that outlines how credit criteria are met and any positive measurable outcomes associated with the innovation:
Kean University has raised the well-being of its community to a strategic imperative, launching a first-of-its-kind “Vitality Index” to measure student, faculty and staff experiences and draw plans for improving the campus culture.
Kean is the first higher education institution in the nation to team up with EY, the global professional services firm, to build a Vitality Index as a tool for bolstering physical, mental, social and financial health among members of the campus community. Kean University’s participation with EY to ensure holistic wellness for faculty, staff and students sets us apart from universities across the nation. We aim to create a "culture of care that highlights our focus on the whole person and demonstrates our commitment to the well-being of our entire Kean community.”
The project also supports Kean’s work in the Moon Shot for Equity initiative, a public-private partnership focused on eliminating equity gaps in higher education.
