About the Academic Well-being Project

Georgia Tech’s new strategic plan calls for the cultivation of well-being both in and out of the classroom. To promote this goal and contribute to its realization, a Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) Faculty Learning Community (FLC) developed a website with best practices for academic well-being, which feature faculty voices from across colleges and disciplines. 

Explore Ways to Promote Well-being

After a survey of the literature and much discussion, the FLC identified seven factors that contribute to the academic well-being of students in higher education with an emphasis on Tech. These contributing factors for academic well-being include: (1) resilience and growth; (2) inclusivity and equity; (3) sense of purpose; (4) mindfulness; (5) equilibrium; (6) partnership; and, (7) community and social connection.
