On behalf of NIRSA’s Health & Wellbeing Task Force and the Promising Practices Work Group, the Association is proud to share its fifth Promising Practice—UC San Diego: Tritons RISE Together. Promising Practices are collaborative or integrated wellbeing initiatives and campus-wide efforts that—driven and realized by the efforts of campus recreation staff and leaders—support the campus community.

Check out the video below to get a sense of how UC San Diego has worked to become an innovative leader in integrated wellbeing through their Tritons RISE Together programming. At UC San Diego, Recreation and Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) have joined together to present a holistic wellbeing program grounded in mindful movement, art, community, and nature.

The Promising Practices concept is intended to be a three-part, multimodal learning experience that supports the pursuit of collaborative and integrated approaches towards holistic wellbeing. “By providing an example of how one school built its framework and how their campus came together on their initiative, we’re hoping to encourage other schools to lean-in to this work, because we believe it has the power to transform a campus community,” adds Josh Downing, Associate Director of Programming at Indiana University and co-chair of the NIRSA Health & Wellbeing Task Force.

NIRSA is proud to offer this publication for free so that members, and their colleagues across campus, can learn from the innovative efforts of UC San Diego.
