Our lived experiences and identities affect the ways that we&#8217;ve experienced and cultivated well-being before Bates, the ways that we arrive to Bates, and how we engage with our environment and experience well-being at Bates. In collaboration with students and partners across campus, we&#8217;ve developed nine dimensions of well-being that can serve as a framework to think about the ways in which we conceive of and practice our individual well-being on campus.
