Your students’ intellectual wellness goes beyond academics and tutoring—here’s how to bolster it

Colleges and universities are the de facto experts in academics. Curriculum development, content delivery, providing academic resources and assistance, ensuring academic integrity, and evaluating student performance are all critical pieces required for students to succeed in their chosen fields. Students’ academic success also depends on their writing skills, study habits, and ability to think critically. 

Intellectual wellness umbrella graphic | Intellectual wellnessIntellectual wellness is an umbrella term that includes all of the components for academic success along with non-academic elements such as students’ inherent interest in expanding their knowledge, their creativity, and their motivation to keep learning. Other examples of intellectual wellness include students’ ability to manage time, focus on the topic at hand, and get a good night’s sleep. 

Students can excel academically when their intellectual wellness is stimulated. One study found that medical students with higher levels of intellectual wellness had better reading habits and actively participated in class discussions.

While these non-academic elements of intellectual wellness are essential, they are not always easy for schools to implement and support.

Beyond academics, why consider wellness resources for your students?

Students attend college for many reasons: to qualify for a career they love, for future financial security, to grow their social networks, and to satisfy their intellectual needs and desires. Supporting students in these goals can help schools attract and retain individuals who thrive academically and in all areas of their life.
