B-Healthy | Binghamton University

The mission of the Healthy Campus Initiative is to cultivate a culture and environment of health and well-being that is supportive of individuals and groups in pursuit of their optimal potential.

Join the initiative to make
Binghamton a healthier campus.

The goal of Binghamton University's Healthy Campus Initiative (HCI) is to create an environment and identity that encourages and supports healthy living. Improving the health and well-being of our community and its members improves students' capacity to learn, reduces some of the high-impact impediments to academic performance, improves student retention by improving coping strategies and psychological health, and sets the stage for lifelong healthy living. Workplace wellness for faculty and staff can positively impact employee health and job satisfaction, boost engagement and enhance productivity, resulting in greater employee retention and institutional cost savings.

75 ways we're inspiring well-being

This online booklet, celebrating the University's history, brings into focus the many ways Binghamton University and its students, faculty and staff work together to develop and sustain a culture of support for health and well-being initiatives across the spectrum of the eight dimensions of wellness.

Well-being in the Classroom

Faculty and staff can play a pivotal role in supporting student well-being both inside the classroom and in ways outside of their academics. Find out how you can help students discover opportunities and resources to develop a foundation that will support their well-being.
