At many of those gatherings, students have talked about the stresses of college life and what kinds of institutional support they need for their well-being. This is not just a Columbia issue — and it is not new. As this issue’s cover story explains, nearly a quarter of college students nationwide experience anxiety, and institutions of higher education have been grappling with how to better prioritize student health and wellness. Columbia has been focusing attention on our well- ness efforts for a long time and we have a strong sys- tem in place, including professional Residential Life staff and student RAs in all of our residence halls; academic, study abroad, fellowship, financial aid and student organization advisers; and access to University resources such as Columbia Health, and Counseling and Psychological Services. Even so, we continually strive to enhance and expand our support. In fall 2016, the College created a director of student wellness position, which focuses on the one job that the RUDD SCOTT title clearly conveys.
