Information

We, GSAPP's Asian Student Association, are hosting our very own Dr. Margaret "Peggy" Swarbrick for a lunch talk discussing wellness and self-care as a graduate student. All are welcome!

Lunch will be provided! Please RSVP (and choose your desired boxed lunch by 4/12 please!) at the link below.

Dr. Swarbrick is an Occupational Therapist, Research Professor in the Applied Psychology Department, and Associate Director of CAS. Dr. Swarbrick defines wellness as “a conscious, deliberate process that requires being aware of and making choices for a more satisfying lifestyle.” It is marked not by the absence of illness or stress, but by the presence of elements like purpose in life, joyful relationships, and satisfying work and play. In the 1990s, she developed a version of the “wellness wheel” model that many educational and health institutions rely on today. The model identifies eight interconnected dimensions of wellness: emotional, physical, intellectual, environmental, social, spiritual, financial, and occupational.
