Keep Moving Committed to Health Weaving wellbeing into the university experience At Texas Woman’s, we believe wellbeing is a core principle to self-care – one that correlates with productivity and life satisfaction. Furthermore, it is a practice that must be taught and developed in multiple dimensions and personalized to fit every person within the university community.
