CWU Summer 2021 Wildcat Guide

OCCUPATIONAL

Occupational wellness, to me, means finding a position that leaves you feeling fulfilled. If you like working with people, customer service can fill that need. If you are like me and desire to help people solve problems and grow as human beings, than being an Apartment Manager on campus would be right for you as well. - Mackenzie Duncan, 2020 graduate

Occupational Wellness is the ability to achieve a balance between work and leisure time, addressing workplace stress and building relationships with co-workers. It focuses on our search for a calling and involves exploring various career options and finding where you fit. Because what we do for a living encompasses so much of our time, it’s important for our overall well-being to do what we love and love what we do. When people are doing what they were meant to do, they deepen their sense of meaning and purpose.
