Help Impact Your Health and Well-being at Emory!

February 10 - March 9, 2025


Emory invites every graduate, professional and undergraduate student to share their insights into their well-being needs.

Students on the Atlanta and Oxford campuses (who are over the age of 18) will receive one of two surveys in their inboxes:

  • Half the student body will receive the Healthy Minds Survey (HMS);
  • The other half will receive the Wellbeing Improvement Survey for Higher Education Settings (WISHES).

The deadline to complete and submit the surveys is March 9.

 

Your input has impact.

 

Participation in the study is an opportunity for students to make their voices heard! Survey responses will remain confidential and will provide valuable data and insights to Emory University leadership about student mental health, well-being, and resilience.

Data from this study will be used to:

  • Guide resource allocation at the appropriate scale
  • Evolve mental health services and programs on campus to meet current and projected needs across all demographics and identities
  • Understand the strengths and successes of current strategies
  • Communicate effectively with the campus community
  • Continue to raise awareness of mental health and campus resources
  • Evaluate Emory students’ needs in the context of the national landscape
