  <title><![CDATA[Georgia Tech Participates in National Survey of Student Health and Wellness]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<div><p>Georgia Tech is participating in the 2025 <a href="https://www.acha.org/ncha/" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">National College Health Assessment</a> (NCHA) of student health and wellness. This nationally recognized survey assists universities in collecting precise data about students’ health habits, behaviors, and perceptions. &nbsp;</p></div><div><p>All currently enrolled Georgia Tech undergraduates are invited to participate and have received a participation link from NCHA via their Georgia Tech email address. A representative population of graduate students (50%) has also been invited to take the survey. The survey must be taken online and can be completed in approximately 20 to 30 minutes. All survey responses are anonymized upon submission to protect student privacy. The survey will remain open for participation until March 18.&nbsp;</p></div><div><p>Student perspective and input are critically important to helping Student Engagement and Well-Being promote health and wellness through campus resources. Initiatives like the <a href="https://students.gatech.edu/wellbeingroadmaps" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Cultivate Well-Being Action and Transformation Roadmaps</a> are examples of work undertaken to enhance the institutional attributes that promote health and mitigate the elements of campus culture that may adversely affect student well-being. The results of the 2025 NCHA survey will provide critical data to guide the development of future resources. &nbsp;</p></div><div><p>Faculty and staff are also vital to the success of well-being initiatives in Georgia Tech classrooms and are asked to share the NCHA survey information with students and encourage them to participate. &nbsp;</p><p>Students who have filled out the survey are automatically entered into a drawing to win a $50 gift card to <a href="https://gatech.bncollege.com" id="menur3394" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" title="https://gatech.bncollege.com/">Barnes &amp; Noble at Georgia Tech</a>. All students can enter the drawing by filling out <a href="https://baseline.campuslabs.com/giot/25acha" id="menur3396" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank" title="https://baseline.campuslabs.com/giot/25acha">this form</a>.</p></div><div><p>If you would like to learn more about the impact of the NCHA survey on campuses across the country, visit the <a href="https://www.acha.org/ncha/" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">NCHA website</a>.</p><div><p><em>Writer(s): Brittany Aiello, Executive Communications, Institute Communications</em></p></div><div><p><em>Ashlie Bowman, Student Engagement Communications, Student Engagement and Well-Being</em></p></div></div>]]></body>

  <!--  TO DO: correct to not conflate categories and news room topics  -->
  <!--  Disquisition: it's funny how I write these TODOs and then never
         revisit them. It's as though the act of writing the thing down frees me
         from the responsibility to actually solve the problem. But what can I
         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
