<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">I am pleased to announce that
Jennifer Miller has been selected as the new director of the WELL
(Wellness, Empowerment, Life and Learning). The WELL is a new
initiative whose mission is to create a safe, supportive, and connected
campus environment and promote healthy minds, bodies and communities and
is being launched in active collaboration with the AVC/Dean of Students
office, Counseling Center, Campus Health and Recreation. The WELL will
open prior to the start of the new academic year in Highlander Union
Building room 248. The WELL has been made possible through
the generous support of Student Registration Fee Advisory Committee and
the HUB Board of Governors. The initiative is being funded with monies
earmarked by the Regents and Office of the President for student
mental health initiatives.<br><br>
Jennifer earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in Biology from Oberlin
College, her Master of Arts in Higher Postsecondary Education from the
University of Michigan, and is currently working toward her Ph.D. in
Student Affairs Administration at the Claremont Graduate
University. Jennifer came to UC Riverside in the summer of 2003 and
served two years as a Resident Director before moving to the AVC/Dean of
Students office to serve as Student Development Educator. Jennifer
has been instrumental in creating strong and effective peer education
programs, sustaining the university's commitment to community service
efforts by students, and insuring that help and support was available to
students facing a wide array of challenges from hazing to sexual assault.
<br><br>
Please join me in congratulating Jennifer on her new role!<br><br>
