Health Promotion Manager for Well-Being Initiatives

Overview

Under the leadership of the Director of Health Promotion and Prevention Services (HPPS), the Health Promotion Manager (HPM) for Well-Being Initiatives uses ecological strategies, health promotion and health behavior theory and strategies, knowledge of social justice theories and health disparities, and quantitative and qualitative data to systematically improve the health and wellbeing environment for Princeton University students, faculty, and staff. The HPM provides creative and proactive leadership for initiatives within HPPS and acts as a liaison to multiple campus stakeholders around a variety of health promotion topics and strategies. The HPM for Well-Being Initiatives interfaces regularly with our high-achieving student body and campus-wide colleagues through management of several projects of Princeton's health and well-being initiative, hereafter referred to as TigerWell, including the Grant Program, the Campus Well-Being Partnership, and the UHS team of Outreach Counselors. The HPM may also coordinate other project-based efforts and health promotion programs alongside HPPS staff using health behavior theory and an ecological framework. To advance these projects, the HPM will be adept at establishing solid collaborative relationships with staff and administrators within UHS and from other units across campus, as they will serve as a consultative resource to those campus partners to apply the health promotion process and evidence-based strategies to improve the campus environment, support healthier behaviors, advance health equity conversations and education, build a foundation from a unified, holistic approach to well-being, and assist campus partners in achieving measurable improvements in student well-being.

Although undergraduate and graduate students represent the area's primary focus, the HPM role recognizes that our University community is rich with important interdependencies and opportunities for modeling and learning among all campus constituencies.
