Vitality

We are on a mission to become a vital campus. This means that we want to enable and promote students and staff to have a healthy lifestyle. Next to that, this means creating a campus culture of compassion, wellbeing, equity and social engagement. These are things that cannot be done by one team alone and should be incorporated into the daily routines of all campus inhabitants.

On this webpage we highlight what you can do to stay vital at home during COVID-19. We also still highlight some vitality resources on our campus, the Student Sports Centre, mental health resources and a community overview. You can also find some of the research related to vitality that is done on our campus.
